ENFIELD, N.S. --
Increases in flights and passenger traffic at Halifax Stanfield International Airport are encouraging signs of recovery.
The region's largest airport, located in Enfield, N.S., has seen more passengers travelling in the last week than throughout the entire pandemic.
Jeremy Walsh is one of them. He hasn't seen his son in a year, and he recently arrived from Ontario to pick him up and bring him back for a five-week visit.
Low COVID-19 case counts in Nova Scotia and relaxed travel restrictions made the trip possible.
"Where I'm from, they're a lot lower so it's safer," Walsh says.
