Aruba Airport Authority N.V. (AAA):

Updated four-year outlook for traffic recovery at AUA Airport

ORANJESTAD — “As indicated back
in October 2020 we would prepare
a multiyear forecast every quarter.
In this first quarter of 2021 we fore-
see a somewhat slower recovery
than what we estimated back in
October for the years ahead.

We continuously engage daily
with our partners in the aviation
and tourism industry to adapt and
change our outlook(s) if necessary.
This forecast is based on the in-
sights and information we have to-
day. The multiyear outlook remains
fluid and we will continue to do our
utmost to help Aruba in its much-
needed recovery,” said Joost Mei-
js, CEO of Aruba Airport Authority
N.V. (AAA).
