Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (Gateway Airport, Airport) has marked its busiest November on record. The airport has already seen four of the last six months setting records for passenger activity as more air travelers return to the skies. In November 147,285 passengers travelled through the airport, an 8% increase over the previous record November set in 2019. The days before and after the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend were also the single busiest days in the history of Gateway Airport, a trend expected to continue this Christmas travel season.

In November, Allegiant Air launched seven new nonstop routes, Sun Country started service to Minneapolis, and three Canadian airlines – Swoop, Flair, and WestJet – returned for the winter season. Gateway Airport now offers nonstop service to over 60 domestic and international destinations.

“November was an exciting period of growth at Gateway Airport,” J. Brian O’Neill A.A.E., Executive Director/CEO of the Airport. “We are pleased and encouraged that so many new air travelers are discovering the convenience and affordability of using Gateway Airport when they need to travel.”
