The addition of new carriers along with the introduction of new routes and rising passenger numbers on existing routes has led to this accomplishment, the airport said in a statement on Wednesday.
”While the pandemic has meant that traffic growth over the past two years has been slower than usual, the airport has historically grown very fast, as evidenced by how quickly the airport has reached some of these milestones,” it said.
