PANAMA CITY, FL (February 2, 2026) – Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP) has once again surpassed its previous record-breaking passenger numbers in 2025 by serving over 1,937,000 passengers.

In 2025, the Airport served 1,937,224 passengers, a 3.10% increase over its 2024 total of 1,878,945.

Since opening in 2010, ECP has consistently increased year-over-year passenger volume, with daily nonstop and seasonal flights to destinations served by American, Delta, Southwest, and United Airlines.

“Our Airport was built as an economic driver for the Region. We’re 15 years young, with 4,000 developable acres, a global air traffic network, and developable sites near a 10,000-foot runway. As business grows at the Airport and throughout the region, we’re seeing travel well beyond tourism, and it’s reflected in the numbers” stated Airport Board Chair Mark Sheldon.

On January 9th, Airport officials announced their Terminal Expansion project during a ground-breaking ceremony. Sheldon believes the expansion will only broaden ECP’s horizons. “The expansion will enhance the passenger experience from check-in, the passenger holding areas, an expanded baggage claim, and three additional gates to accommodate more airline partners. We’re preparing for our continued and futuresuccess.”
