In January 2018, Athens International Airport (AIA) recorded an all-time high performance, with 1.28 million passengers, surpassing traffic of the same month in 2017 by 6.5 percent.

According to AIA’s figures, the main driver of the development continues to be international traffic which demonstrated a 12 percent growth during that month.

Domestic travelers presented a small decline of 3.2 percent due to the reduction of the offered capacity on local flights

Moreover, the number of flights to Athens Airport in January amounted to 12.471, recording an increase of 4.8 percent. Domestic flights dropped slightly compared to 2017 (-1.6 percent), while international flights increased significantly to 9.5 percent.
