October was another busy month at the Sault Ste. Marie Airport.

The airport development corporation counted 20,040 passengers through the terminal, the most active month of the past six most active months in the corporation’s history.

In a Nov. 22 news release, the corporate said October set a new monthly mark, exceeding the previous record set last August at 19,592.

The past 12 months of operation have seen 209,559 passengers flow through the Sault Ste. Marie Airport.

Ten of the past twelve months have set records for that month in a year.

“The record passenger levels have been great to see,” said corporate president-CEO Terry Bos in a statement. “It is hoped that these levels will continue through the winter southern destination season, this will be assisted by the addition of a new Sunwing destination for this winter. This winter people have the opportunity to go to either Punta Cana or Jamaica direct from Sault Ste. Marie Airport with Sunwing Airlines.”

The Sault Ste. Marie Airport is serviced by Air Canada Express, Bearskin Airlines, and Porter Airlines.
