For domestic flights, the total number of domestic passengers at the three airports was approximately 65% of the pre-COVID level (April 2019), due to the lifting of quasi-emergency measures in March and an increase in the number of passengers during the consecutive holidays. Although the number of international cargo movements continued to be at a high level of over 2,000 times a month, it was slightly lower than the previous year due to the influence of the recent unstable world situation.
