Summary

In January 2021 there was a movement of 772 thousand passengers at national airports, representing a year-on-year decrease of 79.3% (-74.7% in December). The movement of freight and mail totalled 12.0 thousand tonnes, corresponding to a decrease of 30.2% (-23.1% in December).

Despite the circumstances determined by the COVID-19 pandemic, Statistics Portugal calls for the best collaboration by companies, families and public entities in responding to Statistics Portugal’s data requests. The quality of official statistics, particularly its ability to identify the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, crucially depends on this collaboration, which Statistics Portugal thanks in advance.
