The number of passengers at Visby Airport has decreased by 40 percent from December 2019 to December 2021. All of Swedavia's airports in the country show similar figures. The corona pandemic has therefore left a deep mark on air travel.
According to a press release from Swedavia, the levels are comparable to air travel in the early 1980s.
However, if you compare December 2021 with the same month in 2020, the number of travelers in Visby has increased by 269 percent.
The figures for all of Sweden are similar: December 2021 compared to December 2020 – up 290 percent, but December 2021 compared to the same month in 2019 – down 44 percent.
Swedavia's ten airports have lost a total of 58 million travelers since the pandemic hit the country almost two years ago.
