Traffic at Iasi International Airport increased by 37% in 202 compared to the previous year and reached almost 640.000 passengers. Airport management hopes that the fifth wave of the pandemic will not be so restrictive, and that the number of passengers will exceed 800.000 in 2022.
Last year, the airport in Iaşi was transited by 639.532 passengers, with 37 percent over the traffic registered in 2019.
"The summer months of 2021 have not only been over 2020, but they have been as close to traffic as the summer months of 2019. For 2022, we believe we can exceed 800.000 passengers, but we hope that wave five will not be so restrictive. ", Said the general manager of Iasi airport, Romeo Vatra.
In 2022, Blue Air will resume flights on five external routes from Iasi: Paris, Barcelona, Rome, Cologne and Brussels. In the summer months, Blue Air will introduce temporary flights to Heraklion, Zakynthos and Mykonos.
