Civil Aviation Authority Union President at Corfu Airport Dimitris Roussos told Enimerosi that there were approximately 60 passengers on the flight and Lufthansa flights are scheduled to arrive in Corfu every Sunday throughout April, unless there are cancellations.
"I looked into the matter and found out that most of the passengers were Greeks from abroad or foreign nationals who have homes in Corfu," said Mr. Roussos.
