Almost 1,2 million passengers traveled to and from Larnaca and Paphos airports in July, corresponding to 82% of the traffic for the corresponding month in 2019.
A representative of Hermes Airports told KYPE that "August is peak season and there is increased traffic at Cypriot airports these days".
He added that "overall, the passenger traffic this summer is increased compared to the previous two years. July closed with almost 1,2 million passengers at both airports (Larnaca: 800.000, Paphos 400.000), which corresponds to 82% of July 2019's traffic.
In fact, he said, July "is the second month in a row this year that passenger traffic has exceeded 1 million passengers in a month, which has happened since October 2019. This is very significant, considering that this year we do not have the Russian and Ukrainian market".
He also expressed the assessment that "September will also move at the same pace".
In response to a related question, the representative of Hermes Airports said that "the countries from and to which most passengers travel are the United Kingdom, Greece, Israel, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, France, Italy and others , from a total of 38 countries with which we have direct flights".
