Ontario Airport Passenger Volume Notches Past Pre-Pandemic Level
Ontario International Airport passenger volume has exceeded pre-pandemic levels for the first time. The airport welcomed 454,000 air travelers last month, 4% more than in March 2019.
Domestic passengers totaled 439,531 last month, while the number of international travelers was almost 15,000, increases of 71% and 446%, respectively, compared with March of last year.
Most importantly, domestic and international passenger volume combined was 3.97% higher in March than two years ago. Domestic travel increased more than 6.5% to 439,531 while international volume was 40% lower at 14,492.
“The March passenger numbers are a tremendous achievement for our airport and airline partners, launching Ontario International’s pandemic recovery to an even higher level,” said Ontario International Airport Authority CEO Atif Elkadi. “We can’t say for sure what the coming months will bring, but the March passenger count shows what full recovery looks like.”
