Landing weights totaled 1 billion pounds in January 2024 representing a decrease of 7.1% compared to January 2023. Cargo volume totaled 11,579 tons in January 2024 representing a decrease of 2.5% compared to January 2023. The decline in cargo volume YTD compared to the prior year is the result of declines in mail cargo and tonnage carried from major cargo carriers. January 2024 operating revenue totals $23.6M, an increase of 14.5% or $3.0M compared to January 2023. The increase in operating revenue primarily results from updated airline rates for FY24 and changes to the parking rate structure from prior year. January 2024 operating revenue is composed of 49.2% airline revenue, 49.2% non-airline revenue, and 1.6% interest income. Airport operating expenses totaled $11.9M for the month, an increase of 31.9% or $2.9M compared to January 2023. The increase in operating expenses results from higher personnel costs from increased headcount and wage adjustments, and contractual costs including parking services, consulting contracts, and baggage handling system maintenance.
