Prince George’s YXS released some passenger numbers for the month of February.
Thoroughfare at the airport during that month was just over 47,000, which is a 34% increase over the same period in 2014.
Airport Spokesperson Lindsay Cotter says it was a fantastic, record breaking month that has been receiving high praise:
“We’ve received rave reviews from everyone from the mission staff to organizers, to athletes who used the facilities during the games. We had an incredible time, it was a great energy here at the games and it really showed that we can handle great capacities here at the airport”
Cotter says nearly 130 additional flights were directly related to the games, this on top of the regularly scheduled flights.
A Boeing 767 and two 757’s were also accommodated during the month, and carried over 120,000 lbs of cargo through the terminal.
