Faro Airport Reaches 8 Million Passengers
Faro Airport reached the milestone of 8 million passengers processed per year. Today, this milestone is symbolically celebrated with the staff, airport community and regional surroundings, with a set of initiatives that include a welcome by ANA | VINCI Airports to those arriving on Jet2.com airline’s flight from Birmingham, around 1:10 pm, local time. The celebration also includes moments of entertainment, sounds and regional performances that characterise Algarve.
For Carlos Lacerda, CEO of ANA Aeroportos de Portugal, “this celebration is the high point of the work carried out by ANA’s team, particularly Faro Airport’s team, which, over the past few years, accompanied the growth and adaptation of this Airport to the needs of the airlines and of the passengers, offering a better and more complete service without allowing those adaptations to restrict growth.”
Jet2.com, a partner in this celebration, is the third largest airline serving Faro Airport and the region of Algarve. The British company, Jet2.com, stood out by contributing to the sharp growth in passengers processed during the summer season at Faro Airport, in particular via the increase of the offering from the United Kingdom with two new routes and daily services from Birmingham and London Stansted. “The celebration carried out with Jet2.com is of great significance to Faro Airport, not only because of the role this airline has been having in the promotion of this airport and of the region, but also for the commitment it continues to take on by extending these two new routes in the current 2017–2018 winter season, which solidifies the efforts of the Airport and of ANA | VINCI Airports to counteract the seasonal nature of the tourism that characterizes Algarve”, says Alberto Mota Borges, Faro Airport’s Director.
ANA Aeroportos de Portugal | VINCI Airports and Faro Airport take advantage of the celebration of this important milestone to again thank all partners and customers for an exceptional season, and to invite the entire community to get to know the new renovated terminal and its wide range of Flights, Services and New Commercial Areas.
Congratulations Algarve!
