Air passenger traffic at the D.C. area’s three airports remains significantly lower than a year ago, but passenger trends have been rising faster at BWI Marshall Airport than at Reagan National or Dulles International airports.
It is partly because of the mix of passengers the three airports serve.
BWI Marshall had 724,000 total air traffic passengers in June, according to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, compared to nearly 2.5 million in June 2019. Though down 70.5% from a year ago, BWI’s passenger count for June was more than at Dulles and Reagan National combined.
Reagan National had 371,000 passengers in June, and Dulles had 283,000, meaning BWI accounted for 58% of all passengers at the three airports. BWI is the busiest of the three airports generally, although they are typically all close for annual passenger counts.
