Number of Passengers Boarding Flights at MRY from May-July 2023
Reaches Highest in Airport’s Recent History
MONTEREY, CA, Aug 21, 2023 - The Monterey Regional Airport has seen an increase in passengers boarding commercial flights this summer, May through July, with a staggering 74,181 passengers embarking in just those three months. The May passenger counts started the trend, breaking the milestone for most passengers to fly out of MRY in a single month since the closure of Fort Ord in 1994. With numbers for June and July continuing to increase, MRY has seen its busiest summer in the recent history of the Airport.
The summer’s monthly passengers for the airport are:
These numbers reflect just those people boarding commercial airlines at the Airport and do not include arriving passengers. August should show a spike in numbers due to the increase in passengers during Car Week, from August 14th through 20th. Although these numbers also do not include people flying into and out of the airport on private aircraft, Airport Executive Director Michael La Pier reported “over 160 private aircraft parked at the Airport for Car Week, with even more being added today.” In comparison, there were around 140 parked at the Airport for Car Week in 2022.
With larger commercial aircraft, such as the upgraded Airbus A319 for American Airlines’ mainline service to Dallas, TX (DFW), the Airport can accommodate more passengers on fewer flights per day while also providing a superior passenger experience for those flying in and out of MRY.

2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
