Numbers show 24,140 more passengers used the airport over the same month in 2023, bringing the total for the month to 145,957 combined enplanements/deplanements.

The numbers are consistent with airport Executive Director Richard Strickland’s recent report to the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners regarding airline seat capacity increasing 20.8 percent in the first quarter of the year.

For the month, United Airlines accounted for the majority of seat growth as it operates mainline 737-700 aircraft in Key West for the first time to Newark, Washington, Chicago and Houston.

Important Reminder: With spring break underway, passenger traffic is at its peak in the Florida Keys, especially at the airport. Travelers are reminded to build extra time into their travel itineraries.
