Hey,
I was looking for airports to fly to in Europe :lol:
And found a great airport! Chania - Souda Airport [CHQ, LGSA], Greece.
It seems so great that no one wants to fly from there :P - otherwise I don't understand how come it has 0 passengers ???

Anyways, after a small research I found out that this airport actually has 2,500,000 passengers every year.
My source is http://www.chania-taxi.com/chania-airport.php
Also searched in other sites, and this is what I found:
http://www.alxd.gr/AirportGuide/chania/chaniaE.html#top - 1,350,000 passengers annually.
http://www.explorecrete.com/chania/EN-chania-airport.html - 2,500,000 passengers.

So whether you think 1,350,000 or 2,500,000 are right - the airport surely doesn't have 0 passengers :lol:

Thanks,

ok... question...

If you read your first source it says
Quote
Though not exactly as busy as the nearby Heraklion Airport, the Chania Airport nonetheless serves around 2.5 million passengers each year.  On any given day, around 1,000 passengers go through the Chania Airport, which currently has a total area of 14,650 square metres.

The passenger volume can even go up to 2,500 daily during the months of July and August, when summer is at its peak and the tourists come in droves to visit Crete

Assuming everyday is a peak at 2500 pax, in a leap year with 366 days, the annual pax would be 915,000 ^-^
That is no where near 2.5 million~

Your second source says
Quote
Finally in 1996 functioned the new building with total surface 14,650 m2, and 6 places of quartering of planes, that have prospect to cover trnasportation 1,350,000 passengers, annually.

Which means the airport terminal is designed to handle no more than 1,350,000 passengers annually. It does not mean that they have that much now.

Your third source and your first has the same information. Either one of them copied the other, or they both copied the same source. Sadly, no one used their brain when copying...~

That said, we still need to find a source that is mildly credible :(


Edit: Nevermind... found the official data for 07.
