The economic recovery that the Island has been experiencing gradually since the restrictions imposed by the pandemic have been eased, as the population’s vaccination levels have advanced, has been reflected again in the month’s data of January of this year provided by National Airports (AENA) related to the César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport, which is echoed by the Cabildo Data Center.
Thus, the number of passengers who passed through the airport facilities located in Guasimeta last month amounted to 406,115 , 380% more than in January 2021; the number of air operations rose to 4,351 , 156% more than a year ago; and the volume of goods transported rose to 50,364 kilos , 55% more than in January of the previous year.
