This brings the year-to-date enplanements to 1,136,473 and the total number of travelers welcomed to 2,266,326.

While there was a slight decline in November's numbers compared to the previous year, overall passenger and enplanement numbers have increased by 6.1 percent and 5.9 percent respectively.
