As logged at issue
Looking further out, we think it's likely the Libya-to-Crete corridor is still Greece's largest single migrant-arrival route, ahead of the Turkey-Aegean crossing, in August 2027 -- a reversion to Aegean-route dominance in Frontex's own monthly breakdowns would be the signal that overturns this.
