Passenger movements for the month amounted to a total of 878,462.

Even though seat capacity increased by 2.8 per cent over 2019, MIA stated that the seat load factor stood at an “all-time high” of 91.4 per cent, highlighting the “very strong demand” for travel as holidaymakers headed to their preferred destination.
