Sea-Tac Airport just set a passenger record — and wait times are soaring too. (via seattletimes)
Travelers walk through Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on April 1, 2022 in Seattle.
While passenger traffic this year is still lower than in 2019, Sea-Tac recorded its busiest day in airport history Monday, in part thanks to Taylor Swift fans heading home after concerts last weekend. Sea-Tac has the sixth-longest wait times among all airports in the country, according to a study on airport wait times by luggage storage company Bounce released in June.
“If you and I walk in through there, we’re not going to notice the difference, but we’re still down 5% to 6% from 2019, or 1% to 2% right now in the summer,” Cooper said. Even with all checkpoints and lanes open, the airport can only push through so many passengers an hour. As airlines accommodate more passengers by adding larger aircraft to their fleets, more passengers can fly during the morning peak hours. Yet only so many can fit through, and backups have a domino effect.
