As the weather cools from Phoenix's hot summer months, more travelers are flying through Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, with low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines leading the way in passenger growth.
A total of 3,734,342 passengers flew into or out of Sky Harbor in September, according to the latest report from the Phoenix Aviation Department issued in late October. That number represents a 6.4% increase in total passenger count compared to September 2022, and an increase of more than 280,500 total passengers or 8.1% from pre-pandemic levels in September 2019.
It also marked an increase from the 3.58 million passengers in August, which is typically the slowest month at Sky Harbor.
Sky Harbor’s year-over-year growth was fueled by double-digit growth from Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE: DAL) and triple-digit growth from Frontier Airlines.
