A total of around 15.000 passengers started or landed on sunny holidays from Paderborn / Lippstadt Airport in the first half of the summer holidays.

More than 2.000 passengers took off at the home port on the very first holiday weekend. The airport then recorded around 5.000 passengers per week. For comparison: Last year, due to the corona pandemic, only around 4.000 passengers per week could fly or return from Paderborn / Lippstadt on vacation or return, which corresponds to less than a third of the current flight capacity.

“We feel a clear upswing, the summer feeling is back. The airlines and tour operators and especially the passengers in the region are loyal to us. We have been very satisfied with the summer vacation season so far, ”emphasizes the new airport managing director, Roland Hüser. Palma de Mallorca, Antalya / Turkey and Heraklion / Crete would enjoy great popularity with holidaymakers in East Westphalia-Lippe and the neighboring regions, according to the broadcast.

Almost the entire summer flight schedule - with the exception of Sylt -, on the other hand, was canceled by Green Airlines, which got into negative headlines, from Paderborn / Lippstadt and two other airports. And that just a few days after the announcement. In the absence of a "flight partner", the charter marketer had to finally stop selling on the holiday routes from Groningen, Paderborn and Rostock-Laage - Aviation.Direct reported.
