International traffic was severely disrupted by the pandemic in 2020. The total for this year showed a large percentage increase, 540%, due to the ongoing normalization of international air travel. International traffic for the year to date has increased by 14.5% relative to 2020.
Overall, the last 5 months have shown a return to pre-pandemic traffic totals in the airport. As vaccination rates continue to increase, we can expect these totals to remain strong.
