To manage the anticipated increase in air travel, InJourney Airports has prepared several operational strategies. These include optimizing slot times, managing aircraft movements efficiently, and ensuring the readiness of all personnel, including Aviation Security (Avsec) staff. The company aims to maintain service quality despite the higher passenger volumes.

Beyond operational readiness, InJourney Airports is focusing on enhancing the passenger experience. Under the 'Sweet Departure' campaign, themed 'Festive Event School Holiday,' airports will feature family-friendly environments. Initiatives include holiday-themed decorations, photo opportunities, and on-ground activities for children such as airport education tours, cookie decorating, and art performances. Special gifts, dubbed 'Sweet Journey Gifts,' will also be provided to families traveling with children, aiming to create a festive and memorable start to their holidays.

We want families traveling during this period to feel the holiday atmosphere right from the departure airport. Therefore, we are running the Festive Event School Holiday campaign with the theme Sweet Departure to create a family-friendly airport and create sweet memories for passengers.
