LISBON, PORTUGAL - JULY 09: NetJet Europe Cessna 680A Citation-Latitude lands in Humberto Delgado International Airport on July 09, 2022 in Lisbon, Portugal. Travelers are facing crowding and flight cancellations as the city's airport returned to normal after the forced inactivity due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic, and large numbers of travelers meant delays and recriminations from the government to SEF and ANA, in charge of handling departing and arriving passengers. INE attributes to the strong recovery dynamics in tourism an important part of the country's economic growth. Compared to the first quarter of 2021 -when Portugal was practically paralyzed by the pandemic-, domestic demand increased by 9.8%, exports by 18.3%, and imports by 13.1%. Portugal's economy grew 2.6% in the first quarter compared to the last one of 2021 -and 11.9% compared to the same period of the previous year-, thanks to the end of COVID-19 Coronavirus restrictions and a strong growth in private consumption.
