Fraport’s announcement also mentioned an impressive 120.6 percent spike in traffic for Mykonos’ airport, which is largely due to the completion of works on the airport’s runway.
A 63.4 percent surge was also recorded in visitors who flew into Kefalonia’s “Anna Pollatou” International Airport.
According to Fraport, the total number of flights to and from Greek airports for January, 2019 was 6,830, which is 14.7 percent higher than last January’s numbers.
