Cargo volume totaled 12,543 tons in March 2024, a decrease of 3.1% compared to March 2023. The decline in cargo volume compared to the prior year is the result of declines in mail cargo and tonnage carried from major cargo carriers. March 2024 operating revenue totals $27.1M, an increase of 12.3% or $3.0M compared to March 2023. The increase in operating revenue primarily results from updated airline rates for FY24 and changes to the parking rate structure from prior year.

Airport operating expenses totaled $14.9M for the month, an increase of 22.9% or $2.8M compared to March 2023.

Cargo volume totaled 12,099 tons in February 2024, a decrease of 5.7% compared to February 2023. The decline in cargo volume compared to the prior year is the result of declines in mail cargo and tonnage carried from major cargo carriers. February 2024 operating revenue totals $23.2M, an increase of 17.9% or $3.5M compared to February 2023. The increase in operating revenue primarily results from updated airline rates for FY24 and changes to the parking rate structure from prior year.

Airport operating expenses totaled $12.0M for the month, an increase of 28.4% or $2.7M compared to February 2023. The increase in operating expenses results from higher personnel costs from increased headcount and wage adjustments, costs associated with APD and ARFF units, and contractual costs including parking services and baggage handling system maintenance.
