The Ministry further stated in its press release that 3.2 million passengers were received during the period from February 7 to April 30, 2022, which represents 64% of the air traffic recorded in 2019.
Additionally, the Ministry indicated that 2021 was marked by the reopening of the new air terminal at Nador Airport, which raised its capacity to 2 million passengers annually.
