553,425 passengers traveled through SBP
SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA — Passenger numbers at the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport (SBP) reached an all-time high in 2022, as 553,425 passengers traveled through the airport. The amount sets the record for the most annual passengers in the airport’s history and is 36.2 percent higher than 2021’s traveler count of 406,230. Previously, 2019 was the airport’s busiest year on record with 544,755 passengers traveling through SBP.
This new record further reinforces that passengers are ready and committed to traveling again after the pandemic forced them to stay home at the start of 2020. Additionally, it is clear that carriers are also confident about passengers’ return to travel: in October, American Airlines started using larger aircraft for its twice-daily flights between SBP and Dallas-Fort Worth, helping to connect even more people between the two markets.
“This is an incredible achievement that I am so grateful to be a part of, especially after the pandemic impacted the entire travel industry,” said Courtney Johnson, Director of Airports for San Luis Obispo County. “This milestone would not be possible without the dedication and commitment of the SBP team, who always puts the passenger experience at the forefront of everything we do. I know I speak for all of us when I say we greatly appreciate each and every person who chooses to fly out of our airport.”
American Airlines was the airport’s largest carrier, reporting 215,761 passengers throughout the year with daily flights to both Dallas/Fort Worth and Phoenix. United Airlines, which flies daily to Denver, Los Angeles, and San Francisco carried 209,417 passengers. Alaska Airlines saw 128,247 passengers through its flights to Portland, San Diego, and Seattle.

PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technology works and its applications.
