The data clearly shows a recovery in passenger numbers, which indicates the gradual recovery of the aviation industry following the challenges posed by the pandemic. This positive trend is supported by comparing the passenger statistics in 2022 with the previous four years. In 2018, there were 6,044,276 passengers, and this number slightly increased to 6,213,531 passengers in 2019, representing a 2.80% change.
