After the European summer marked by the reopening of borders, the recovery of air transport was not as strong as expected. The reopening of the corridor between the United Kingdom and Portugal did not bring such great respite to Portuguese airports due to new mobility restrictions imposed by the pandemic.
The United Kingdom was the country that contributed the most to the result not being as expected. Among the reasons may be the opening and closing of borders by the English government, the restrictive rules to control the disease and discourage non-essential travel.
So much so that 56.1% of flights coming were registered than in the same period of 2019. Other countries also contributed, such as Spain, with 55.7% less and Germany, with 49.7% less. On a smaller scale, there was France, with 40.5% less
These four are the main source markets for tourists, which together accounted for 51% fewer flights in the country compared to the same period in 2019.
However these are the total numbers. When it comes to reduction by regions, Lisbon had the worst result among them. a 53.5% drop in movement was recorded when compared to the pre-pandemic.
