(Adds traffic target range for 2020)
MADRID, July 29 (Reuters) - Air traffic in Spain has dropped
since British authorities announced a quarantine on travellers
from Spain last weekend, airport operator AENA said on
Wednesday.
AENA's Chief Executive Maurici Lucena did not say by how
much traffic had been affected by the quarantine announcement
and added that the impact was hard to predict, as it could be
lifted within a few weeks.
Speaking to investors during a conference call, Lucena
maintained the guidance of a 57%-67% decline of overall traffic
in 2020, despite the effect of the Britain quarantine.
Just over a fifth of the more than 80 million foreign
tourists who visit the country each year come from Britain.
