In an interview this week the airport CEO said he is hoping for around 800,000 passengers during this calendar year which would be around 50% of the pre-pandemic annual figure. Recently the airport projected a return to pre-pandemic passenger levels by 2026 but that might well come much sooner especially if the Wizz Air initiative becomes the success that the airport is looking to achieve.
