Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport has broken several passenger records this year. More than 3.7 million passengers traveled through the airport in September.
Sky Harbor spokesperson Tamra Ingersoll said that’s a 6.4% increase over September of last year.
“If we go back before the pandemic in 2019, that is an 8.1% increase and 2019 was one of our busiest years on record," she said. "So year-to-date, we are up about 3.7% compared to the pre-pandemic numbers.”
Ingersoll said every month this year, traveler numbers have exceeded 2022 and all but two months were all-time records.
