More travelers at Saxon airports

Nevertheless, passenger numbers at Leipzig/Halle and Dresden airports have not yet reached pre-pandemic levels, as Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG announced in October. In total, around 2.3 million passengers had taken off from Saxony airports by the end of September, including 1.6 million from Leipzig/Halle and around 705,000 from Dresden. While Leipzig, according to the company, is primarily benefiting from the renewed desire for vacation travel, Dresden is being used more as a feeder to international hubs. (with dpa)
