Passenger traffic at Daytona Beach International Airport increased 21 percent in July, compared with July 2010.
During July, 48,012 incoming and outgoing passengers passed through Daytona Beach International Airport. This compares with 39,561 total passengers in July 2010.
For the 12 months ending July 31, 532,200 passengers traveled through the county-operated airport, a 16 percent increase over the prior 12-month period.
July’s increase follows an upward trend beginning in November 2009 in which traffic has increased during 20 of the last 21 months. July’s increase continues to reflect the use of larger capacity aircraft, greater passenger loads and competitive fares offered by Delta Air Lines and U.S. Airways, the Airport’s principal commercial carriers. Over the past year, airport staff has been in ongoing communication with existing airlines and others promoting new routes and air service opportunities for the region.
Airport Director Rick Karl commented, “We are very pleased with the continued growth in passenger traffic and remain optimistic that the current upward trend will continue to year’s end and beyond.”
