Even though the volume of passengers passing through Bratislava Airport was 17% less in February than it was in the same month last year, the airport looks set to recover slowly with some 25 destinations to 13 countries included in its summer schedule this year.
The airport management put the February figures (the worst of the year) down to the turmoil in various countries of North Africa, with no flights at all being made to the region in February, but above all to some reshuffling by the airport’s main carrier Ryanair. Domestic flights have also been on the decline, dropping by a half year-on-year in February.
