AEGEAN recorded a significant recovery in passenger traffic in May this year, carrying more than 1 million passengers just at the start of the new summer season.AEGEAN transported more than 565 thousand passengers in the foreign network and about 461 thousand passengers in the domestic network having restored 85% of its frequencies compared to 2019.
Noting the above performance is the fact that the company transported in one month almost all the passengers it had transfers cumulatively in the 1st quarter of the year. The occupancy rate reached almost 79% in May, with an average of 122 passengers per flight, reaching pre-pandemic levels in the last week of May.
For the next months of the summer season AEGEAN continues the gradual increase of capacity, with the final goal in July and August to have marginally higher levels of capacity in kilometer positions compared to 2019, with the positive contribution of increased capacity from the base of Thessaloniki and from the two main airports of Crete.
