Bradley International Airport records 6.5% increase in 2024 passenger traffic

Bradley International Airport continued its post-pandemic recovery in 2024 as passenger traffic increased 6.5%, according to new data. 

The Windsor Locks airfield, which landed numerous new routes last year and a few that went away, reported 6.66 million passengers in 2024, up 6.5% from 6.24 million in 2023. 

That was the highest number of passengers since the 2020 pandemic. However, that total was still 1.3% below 2019’s passenger totals of 6.75 million.

In 2024, Bradley had 6.5 million domestic flight passengers, 105,195 international passengers, and 1,255 passengers who took charter flights.
