Thunder Bay Airport is on pace for about 720,000 passengers this year.
Figures released Monday by the airport show just over 400,000 travellers moved through the airport between January and July.
That is marginally ahead of last year at the same time, and it shows the airport has not yet rebounded completely from the pandemic years when travel plummeted everywhere.During the same period at the height of the pandemic in 2021, it was only about 120,000.New CEO Graham Ingham has stated he believes this year will finish with a similar number to 2023's total.
Passenger levels will conceivably get a boost when Porter Airlines' new service between Thunder Bay and Pearson International Airport begins in October.
