“The number of takeoffs and landings was 36,631, almost similar to that recorded in the first six months of last year. The increase in passenger traffic is explained by the fact that the aircraft had a higher load factor compared with last year,” said airport spokesman Valentin Iordache.
Henri Coanda reported 2.3 million passengers, which compares with 2.2 million passengers in the first half of last year. Almost 2 million passengers travelled on international flights, according to Iordache. In March, the airport opened a new passenger terminal, built through a EUR60 investment.
