Community Information DirectorAir traffic at Daytona Beach International Airport down 4 percent in April
Passenger traffic at Daytona Beach International Airport decreased 4 percent in April, compared with April 2009.
During April, 46,888 incoming and outgoing passengers passed through Daytona Beach International Airport. This compares with the 49,036 total passenger traffic in April 2009. For the 12-months ending April 30, annual passenger traffic decreased 8 percent -- 478,460 to 440,199 – in comparison with the previous 12-month period.
According to Airport Director Rick Karl, the traffic decrease in April reflects lingering economic conditions that are recovering, but slowly, throughout the region. Between November 2009 and March 2010, passenger traffic had recorded consecutive monthly increases over the same month during the prior year, Karl pointed out.
