The airline plans to operate around 54,000 flights to at least 65 destinations, surpassing the 50,000 flights and 56 destinations in 2022 (compared to 32,500 flights and 30 destinations in 2019). Notably, passenger traffic during the summer is expected to rise by 14%, accommodating 2.33 million passengers compared to 1.91 million last year.
