Passenger Traffic Expected to Rise Sharply 

The airport currently handles around 20,000 passengers daily and records nearly 150 arrivals and departures each day. 

Management expects daily passenger traffic to increase to around 50,000 by the end of the year, while daily air traffic movements could rise to approximately 380.
