We are looking forward to continuing our growth also in the busier summer season that already begins in two weeks from now.”
“In February, we also reached a historic milestone. Since the company’s establishment in 1995, we have now carried over 40 million passengers. It is a serious track record that everyone at the company can be proud of,” Martin Gauss added.
