Passengers decreased dramatically in Q2 2020 to 727, which is a decrease of 98.87% from Q2 2019. The decline in activity may be ascribed to the implementation of travel limitations and the subsequent reduction in mobility due to the ongoing epidemic.

There was a recovery in Q2 2021, with passenger numbers increasing to 21,125. This reflects a substantial growth rate of 2805.78% compared to Q2 2020. However, it's important to note that this increase is relative to the low base of Q2 2020's passenger count.

Continuing the recovery trend, Q2 2022 saw further growth in passenger numbers, reaching 107,994. This represents an increase of 411.21% compared to Q2 2021.5.
