This weekend alone, as many as 210 aircraft and 55 thousand passengers passed through Split Airport.
Mate Melvan, head of passenger arrivals and departures at Split Airport, said that there were slightly more departures in August, but that did not mean that arrivals were stagnant.
– We have grown by approximately 3 to 4 percent in the first two weeks, and in the first seven months we have recorded an increase of 7 percent compared to last year, Melvan emphasized.
He added that traffic grew in double digits in the first months of the year, although it was on a smaller base.
– It still shows an increase and the desired figures, that we are also growing in the winter months and with less busy periods, he said.
– Portugal and Porto are a new destination, a new market. We are connected to 28 countries, directly to 90 destinations during the heart of the season, and through them to the entire world, said Melvan.
So far, around two and a half million passengers have passed through Split Airport this year.
– We expect between 3.7 and 3.8 million passengers by the end of the year, he added.
