Busiest season month is over, here are the numbers as announced from airport authority. Some things worth mentioning:
- the revival of the domestic market although yet unclear if its due to increased domestic demand or more international passengers connecting via Athens
- the steady and high numbers from basic markets (UK, Germany, nordic countries, Benelux) as well Israel's return
- the collapse of Russia and Ukraine
- the underachieving Turkish market, if numbers are real route won't expected next season
- Poland surpassing 20,000 montly arrivals
