"According to the latest estimates of December, airport traffic in the first two weeks continued the November trend with a -90% and in the third week about -80% due to the concentration of travel before the lockdown. Well that will go, on throughout the year we will register a -75 / -73%. So 2020 will close with no more than 53 million passengers, just over a quarter of the traffic in 2019 ".
Thus the general manager of Assaeroporti, Valentina Lener, at ANSA.
The "sector is like a thermomer" and although the data is now "dramatic", the "airport system will recover", he explains: we must "be helped to resist".
