Passenger traffic hit an all-time high at Daytona Beach International Airport in 2007

For the 12 months ending December 31, 705,475 passengers passed through the County-operated airport compared with 543,248 passengers in 2006, a 30-percent increase.

“With four major carriers in Daytona Beach, we are in a great position to offer competitive fares, and can continue to be a leader in customer service and convenience,” said Dennis McGee, DBIA director of aviation. “We have an exciting year ahead of us in 2008.”

The addition of AirTran Airways was a highlight of 2007. The carrier commenced nonstop service to Atlanta and seasonal service to Baltimore in January.

Also last year, Continental Airlines upgraded its equipment from 50-passenger regional jets to larger Boeing 737 aircraft. And the fourth major carrier, US Airways, joined DBIA in February.
