Delegations then welcomed the increase in destinations on both sides for regular services and expressed the belief that air traffic between the two countries would be restored and in 2022 will return to 2019 levels, as the aviation crisis has mediated due to effects of the pandemic. It is also important to reduce the number of tourists from Russia as a result of the reduction in the number of special services (charter flights). Indicatively, based on the available data, during the previous year, there were huge reductions in arrivals from Russia, which reached historical lows, for example in Heraklion, Crete -85% and in Rhodes -82%.
