The airport handled 31.5 million passengers in the first half, compared to 46 million in the previous year, with a 32.1% decrease in aircraft movements. However, the airport demonstrated resilience with a gradual return of operational capacity and improved air connectivity, reflecting increasing confidence and the market’s readiness for the peak season in the second half of the year.
