More than 600 airports in the United States are scheduled to have passenger flights between September and December, according to an analysis of Cirium Diio data. The 125 busiest airports in the country will collectively see over 22,600 daily departures during this period, which is a 2.6% increase compared to last year. This equates to an additional 588 daily departures.
Out of these major airports, 94 have increased their number of flights compared to the same four months last year, while 31 have seen a reduction in services. Oakland International Airport experienced the largest decline with a 12.2% drop, losing 14 daily departures. Burbank also saw an 8.3% decrease, largely due to Avelo Airlines closing its base there in December. Although Breeze Airways plans to begin service at Burbank, its first flight is not scheduled until March next year.
Three smaller airports—Bozeman (Montana), Chattanooga (Tennessee), and Wilmington (North Carolina)—have recorded notable growth, each increasing their scheduled flights by more than 20% year-on-year for the upcoming four-month period.
