- New boss in the island, Russian arrivals for the first time surpassed UK, we have to go way back to see when UK was not Nr1 again.
- Most of the key markets gave increase, Italy at last shows signs of comeback.
- Finland arrivals decreased, we need to check the finnish market cause we love them.
- First flights from 2 new markets, Spain and Kazakhstan, gave mixed feedback. Vueling flying from Barcelona brought only 70 passengers/flight, hope the route will be boosted during high season while Aegean's charters from Kazakhstan did better as they gave some 125 passengers/flight, not bad for a start.
- Domestic arrivals show revival signs for second consecutive month though we are unaware if lower fares from Aegean and Cyprus allowed more people to travel from/to the capital or if the increase is primarily due to international arrivals connecting via Athens.
