The increase in enplanements – a term in aviation that refers to the number of passengers boarding a flight – reflects the growing popularity of the airport among travelers. This growth can be attributed to several factors, including the addition of new flight routes, increased frequency of existing flights, and the ongoing recovery from the pandemic. The airport has also been proactive in implementing safety measures to ensure passenger confidence during these uncertain times.
