If you compare instead with the record low figures from April last year, air traffic increased. In April, almost 369,000 passengers flew via Swedavia's airports. In April 2019, a total of 3,242,000 people traveled from the same airports. ”Air travel in April is still very limited at our airports due to the pandemic and restrictions. Domestic traffic performs marginally better compared to international traffic, but the number of passengers is at a constant low level during the month. Nine out of ten passengers are still gone compared to before the pandemic “, says Jonas Abrahamsson, Swedavia's President and CEO, in a press release. Bromma Airport is responsible for the biggest landslide. The number of passengers from there has decreased by as much as 96 percent compared with April 2019. During the total of fourteen months with the pandemic, Swedavia's airports have lost an estimated 39 million passengers.
