Hopkins airport sees 10 million passengers for first time since 2019

State of play: It marked the first time Hopkins had more than 10 million passengers since 2019.

Yes, but: The 2024 numbers were slightly below the forecast of 10.25 million to start the year, which Hopkins attributed to two hurricanes and July's global IT outage.

What they're saying: "Although we fell a bit short of our initial forecast, 2024 was a busy year and we fared very well overall," said Bryant L. Francis, the airport's director of port control, in a statement.

• "Our business development efforts to increase flights and seats will continue in 2025, with several unserved routes being of primary focus."
