However, we have seen healthy two-figure growth in passenger numbers, reassuring us of the quality of the work done by all of our staff and partners. Our current diversification policy is bearing fruit, which is encouraging us to continue down this path so that we can continue to innovate and offer our customers even more services and destinations.
