November 16 (SeeNews) - Passenger numbers at Bulgaria's Sofia Airport rose to 380,953 in October from 236,053 in the same month of 2020, the airport operator said.
Aircraft take-offs and landings went up to 4,319 from 3,173 in October 2020, the airport operator said in a data release.
Cargo handled at the airport dropped to 1,821 tonnes in October from 1,996 tonnes in the same month a year earlier.
Traffic at Sofia airport slumped last year due to restrictions on international air travel introduced to limit the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
Last month, the CEO of the SOF Connect consortium which runs Sofia airport, Jesus Caballero, said that the number of passengers is expected to increase by 20-30% this year compared to 2020.
