Overall, Greece’s 14 largest regional airports saw their July arrivals rise 11.1% to 5.9 million passengers compared to the same month of 2019, the last year before the Covid-19 pandemic started, but gains have not been evenly distributed and, at four of them, arrivals still lag those of 2019.
The biggest gains were posted by Santorini (36.2%), Hania and Corfu, with about 21% each, Mykonos (16.6%) and Rhodes (10.4%).
