Oakland airport passenger traffic jumps as post-COVID upswing persists
OAKLAND — Oakland International Airport passenger traffic jumped in March, a sign that the East Bay aviation hub continues to recuperate from its coronavirus-triggered economic and travel ailments.
The airport handled slightly more than 912,900 passengers in March, the highest monthly level since November 2022, according to airport officials. That’s 9.9% higher than the number of passengers that passed through the facility during the same month in 2022, the airport reported. “Travel over the spring break period was strong this year, building significantly from February to March,” said Craig Simon, the Port of Oakland’s acting aviation director.
Over the most recent one-year period that ended in March, Oakland handled 11.58 million passengers. That was a vast improvement over the total for the 2022 calendar year when 11.5 million passengers traveled through Oakland Airport. Despite the improvement, Oakland Airport remains far below its pre-coronavirus levels. It’s not alone in that shortfall. Both San Jose International Airport and San Francisco International Airport also remain stuck at an altitude that’s well short of the heady heights they reached before the coronavirus outbreak in early 2020.
