The East German airport looks back on a successful 2022. The number of passengers has almost doubled compared to the previous year, reaching 139.078.

Nine airlines, including Corendon Airlines, Corendon Europe, Albastar, Tailwind, Freebird, Smartlynx, Sundair, European Air Charter and Croatia Airlines flew to holiday regions around the Mediterranean from Erfurt-Weimar last year. There were also special trips to Sicily, Bologna, Sardinia, Montenegro, Hungary, Croatia, Cornwall, the Channel Islands and the winter destinations Tromsø, Kittilä and Kuusamo. The most popular destination was Antalya on the Turkish Riviera. For this reason, the airport on the Turkish Riviera will be served daily, in some cases even several times a day, in this year's summer flight schedule. In addition to the standard routes, special trips to Veneto, Andalusia, Jordan and Great Britain, which are in high demand, will again be included in the flight schedule in 2023.

Jan Gruber 9. February 2023 10:09
