ACI World Director General Luis Felipede Oliveira said: “The rankings show an encouraging recovery trend, with most of the busiest airports returning to the list before the pandemic. While we are cautious that the recovery may face multiple headwinds, countries The momentum created by the reopening of travel plans is likely to drive tourist arrivals higher in the second half of 2022. As such, ACI will continue to advocate for governments to ease travel restrictions as appropriate to allow for the safe resumption of the flow of people, goods and services. Provide more travel options and drive an overall recovery through the aviation industry's unique role in boosting trade, tourism, investment and job creation."
