The big count, according to Grimmett, is attributed to the new record to new air carriers and new destinations.
officials reported passenger traffic in 2022 exceeded 19 million between January-November.
"We're probably going to surpass 21 million, but not sure yet until we have those numbers," said AUS spokesperson Bailey Grimmett. The biggest challenge recently for AUS was a staffing shortage. More people were hired and TSA also increased personnel. The top five air carriers in 2022 all saw increases in passengers. Southwest had the most with 7.4 million, followed by American, Delta, United and Alaska Airlines.For example, people who are arriving for flights can be dropped off on the upper deck and the lower deck. There are also several big construction projects that are underway or about to start.
