Passenger traffic in Iranian airports registered a year-on-year rise of 34% in the current fiscal year’s first six months (March 21-Sept. 22), as 16.02 million passengers were flown domestically by Iranian airlines, new data released by Iran Airports Company show.
This is while the number of takeoffs and landings posted a 10% year-on-year fall during the period to 140,574.
The significant rise in passenger traffic, despite the decline in the number of flights, is because restrictions related to Covid-19 were eased after airlines had been enforcing social distancing to fend off the pandemic for over two years.
Over 133.89 million tons of cargo were shipped during the period, marking a 40% year-on-year rise.
