In all, almost 3.4 million people passed through the Otopeni Airport in January-August compared with 9.8 million in year-ago period,
Traffic started rising in August, when it stood at almost 430,000 passengers, so last month’s decline was the lowest since the onset of the pandemic. A number of 1.5 million passengers had transited the airport in August 2019.
Most abrupt declines were recorded in April, May, and June 2020, when only tens of thousands of passengers transited the airport, compared with over one million in each of those months in 2019.
