Jetport traffic growth tops in N.E.
Thanks to a steady growth in passenger traffic, the Portland International Airport has become the fastest-growing airport in New England, according to the Associated Press.
The Jetport saw more than 1.7 million passengers board and disembark planes in Portland during the 12 months through June, a jump of nearly 12% from the previous fiscal year. City officials have credited the gain to the addition of low-cost carriers such as JetBlue and AirTran, the AP reported.
In a recent interview with Mainebiz, Jetport Director Paul Bradbury said a planned $60 million terminal expansion is largely dependent on whether those traffic numbers stay strong. "It's a vibrant market," he said. "Right now, the terminal, it's over capacity. We don't have room for another airline."
