Fort Myers airport breaks passenger traffic record in 2024

More than 1.1 million passengers traveled through Southwest Florida International Airport in December, according to the Lee County Port Authority, which operates RSW and Page Field. This marked a busy end to what officials say was a record year for the airport in Fort Myers.

“December 2024 was the busiest December in the 42-year history of the airport and we finished the year with a record-breaking 11,028,182 passengers, which was a 6.6% increase compared to the previous record set in 2022,” Steven Hennigan, executive director and CEO of the Lee County Port Authority, says in a statement.

The record in 2022 was established after 10.3 million passengers traveled through the Fort Myers airport.
