Airport, despite dip, reports second-best September in its 39-year history

Passenger traffic at Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers slipped a bit in September year over year — but remains historically high. 

During September, 515,077 passengers traveled through the airport, under the call letters RSW. That's down 6.5 % from September 2021, according to airport officials. Yet it was still the No. 2 September for airport passenger traffic in the 39-year history of the airport and included three days of operations lost to Hurricane Ian.
