The flow should be 174% higher during holidays

According to information from CCR, the concessionaire that operates the Joinville airport, the prospects for economic recovery and coverage of Covid-19 vaccinations are among the factors that should help increase passenger traffic.

About 3,000 people are expected at the airport for the Corpus Christi holiday to pass through this place between this Wednesday (15) and Sunday (19). Last year the traffic was 1100 passengers. That is, the estimate is such that the flow will increase by 174%.
