According to information from the General Secretariat of the Andean Community, passenger air traffic increased by 21.6% in Peru during the year 2017.
The increase in air traffic also took place in Colombia with 6.4%, followed by Bolivia with 5%, and Ecuador with 3.7%.
Andina News Agency said yesterday that more than 30 million passengers were transported through the international airports of the Andean Community (CAN) in 2017, which translates into 11% more than the previous year.
“During the period from January to December 2017, international air traffic, corresponding to the embarkation and disembarkation of passengers from the countries of the CAN and the world, grew in the four countries”, Andina informed.
This increase also adds up to ten years of continuous growth in the Andean Community. It also helps positively Peru tourism and economic activities.
