Hogan Administration Celebrates New Records for BWI Marshall Airport
Maryland Governor Larry Hogan recently announced that 2,464,890 passengers traveled through Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport in June 2017, an increase of five percent over June 2016 and a new all-time June record for passenger traffic.
“This milestone highlights the role BWI Marshall Airport plays as a critical international gateway and economic generator for our state,” said Governor Hogan. “I congratulate BWI Marshall and our many airport partners for their continued success. This record-setting growth reflects our administration’s work to ensure Maryland is open for business.”
June 2017 marked the 24th-straight monthly passenger record. For the fiscal year 2017 between July 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017, 25,686,444 passengers traveled through the airport, an increase of 4.1 percent and a new fiscal year record.
“The peak summer travel season kicked-off with a new record in June,” said Ricky Smith, Executive Director for BWI Marshall Airport. “We remain committed to a high level of service and a convenient travel experience for our passengers. We look forward to continuing the momentum that we built in the first half of 2017.”
With new airlines and service to new markets, BWI Marshall remains the busiest airport in the region. This summer, airlines offer nonstop service to about 90 international and domestic destinations from BWI Marshall.
