A passenger movement is not the same as a passenger. Every domestic passenger is counted twice — once departing, once arriving — while an international passenger is counted once. That is the official definition, and it is why these totals cannot be added to the route figures elsewhere on this site.
Annual passenger history
Observed calendar-year passenger movements from 1985 to 2025; missing airport-year values remain gaps. This is passenger movements, not route passengers.
Latest observation: 397,089 movements in 2025. The latest observation is also the historical peak; the combined marker identifies both.
National rank by year
Lower rank is higher on the chart. Each year uses only airports with a valid value that year; the denominator can change.

National rank is calculated independently for each year using standard competition ranking. Equal passenger totals share a rank; the denominator is the count of airports with a valid value in that year. No missing value is interpolated or treated as zero, and the data alone does not identify reasons for traffic changes.
