Right, both funny and sad. Ten days ago, just a few days after the fire, it was reported,
"Aeroporti di Roma, in stretto collegamento con Enac, comunica che nella giornata di oggi sul sistema aeroportuale romano risultano operativi circa 1000 voli. In totale il sistema ha ieri accolto oltre 116.000 passeggeri, + 1,9% rispetto alla stessa giornata dello scorso anno."
"Rome airports, in strict collaboration with ENAC (airport operator), said today that the roman airport system operated about 1,000 flights. In total the system has welcomed 116,000 passengers, a 1.9% increase compared to the same day last year."
Travel increased. Now when there's a sudden strike, that's when things can be bad.
