Daytona Beach International Airport traffic increases 15 percent in February

Passenger traffic at Daytona Beach International Airport increased 15 percent in February compared with February 2009.
During February, 42,803 passengers flew in and out of the county-operated airport. This compares with 37,283 travelers recorded in February 2009. The passenger traffic increase in February is the result of more seats being offered by Delta and U.S Airways. The traffic increase in February marks the fourth consecutive month of traffic growth over the same month the previous year.
And airport officials look for continued passenger traffic growth because additional flights and larger aircraft have been scheduled for the remainder of the winter and spring which should encourage increased air travel compared with 2009, according to Airport Director Rick Karl. “We are extremely pleased that Delta and U.S Airways remain upbeat about our market by increasing service levels over last year,” Karl said. For the 12 months ending in February, total passenger traffic declined 21 percent from 549,184 to 435,657 for the last 12 months.
