Coimbatore airport
COIMBATORE: Passenger traffic at the Coimbatore International Airport, which had begun trudging upwards from last July to touch 50% of usual movement, has again nosedived due to the second Covid-19 wave.
With Coimbatore struggling to control cases, passenger traffic dropped by 71.2% in a single month and fell even lower than that of July 2020. This is despite the airport continuing to function daily. The number of flights operated also fell by 60.8%.
The number of passengers arriving and departing from the airport fell to 23,555 people in May due to the lockdown imposed across the state. This is a 71.2% drop compared to the 81,989 passengers the airport saw in April. In fact, April recorded a 31.1% fall in traffic compared to March, after cases started increasing and the wave began in Maharashtra, New Delhi and Karnataka, and the subsequent lockdowns in those states.
