December 2024 was Key West International Airport’s best December on record, with 143,606 passengers using the airport for the month.
2024 was transformative for EYW, with ballooning passenger counts and continued construction on the airport’s new eight-gate Concourse A.
For the year 2024, 1,449,649 passengers used the airport, representing a 9.7% bump for the year compared to 2023. December was a precursor to what is expected to be another record- breaking year ahead, while Concourse A is on the path to completion.
“The fact that we’ve been able to serve a 10% increase in passengers while building this new facility is a testament to the hard work of all involved,” said executive director Richard Strickland.
Concourse A update
Construction on the airport’s new Concourse A building is on track to be complete by April. The superstructure, glass wall and roof are complete. The building is enclosed and interior mechanical, electric and plumbing are underway along with drywall and buildout of concession areas.
