CLT Breaks Passenger Traffic Record
More than 39 Million Travelers Visited the Airport in 2011
CLT broke its passenger traffic record last year, welcoming 39.04 million travelers. It’s a 2 percent increase from 2010, which saw 38.25 million passengers.
Airport officials attribute much of the gain to added flights by airlines who serve CLT. US Airways, which operates its largest hub at Charlotte Douglas, began seasonal service to Madrid, Spain and Dublin, Ireland in May. The airline now flies to 31 international destinations from CLT – six cities in Europe and 25 in Latin America and the Caribbean. US Airways also added a fourth daily flight to Gulfport-Biloxi, Mississippi in October. While InselAir made its debut at CLT in June, beginning service to Curacao International Airport. Other good news for the Airport - international passenger traffic rose by 6 percent in 2011.
Aviation Director Jerry Orr said the increased numbers proves the economic value of the Airport. “We’re in a great location for a hub, and we run an extremely low cost operation here,” he said. “That’s what a business needs to be successful.”
