“We’re now one month away from the end of 2021 and passenger figures are still underperforming as evidenced by our traffic statistics, having recovered so far roughly half of what we recorded back in 2019. While international response to the evolving epidemiological situation worldwide is compromising the global connectivity gained to date, we remain committed to providing our passengers with a safe and comfortable airport experience,” commented Airport International Group CEO, Nicolas Claude.
