The airport attributed (13-May-2015) the passenger decline to the early Easter with major travel days falling in Mar-2015. The year-to-date increase in passenger numbers was 0.1%. European traffic declined by 4.1%, intercontinental traffic fell 0.4% while domestic traffic fell 5.3%. The airport also noted two-thirds of all domestic travellers are business travellers, and the decline was expected as business travel is low during Easter.
