Rafic Hariri International Airport (RHIA) activity recorded an 11.40% year on year (y-o-y) progress in January 2015, with the total number of passengers reaching 501,766. This increase is explained by the annual surge of traveler’s arrivals and departures by 12.73% and 10.37% to register 255,479 and 275,366, respectively. On the other hand, the increase in regional tensions during 2014 might be the reason why the number of transit passengers in January 2015 diminished by %3.46 to 921, compared to last year January 2014.
