The Airport said international passenger traffic jumped 61 percent in March. It attributed the gains to new routes such as Barcelona, operated by both Norwegian Air and LEVEL, as well as nonstop Rome service launched in February by Norwegian Air.
“There’s no doubt that OAK is on the rise, as evidenced by the now 52 consecutive months of passenger traffic gains,” said Bryant L. Francis, Director of Aviation at the Port of Oakland. “We’re in a thriving region and our airline partners are continuing to respond to market demand by adding new flights and nonstop destinations, to the delight of business and leisure travelers alike.”
The Airport said OAK’s March load factor – the number of airline seats occupied by paying customers – was 80.3 percent in March. That was up from 76.9 percent one year ago. Officials expect passenger growth to continue following the launch of nonstop Paris service by Norwegian Air, new daily year-round New York/Newark service aboard Southwest, new daily nonstop service to Dallas/Fort Worth aboard American Airlines, and the first ever service to Crescent City, CA operated by Contour Airlines, all launched earlier this month.

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.
