Kamloops Airport passenger traffic steady in 2024

KAMLOOPS — It was level flight for Kamloops Airport in 2024, with its year-end passenger totals showing almost no change from the previous year.

Statistics distributed to media on Tuesday (Jan. 28) show 310,507 passengers flew through Fulton Field last year. That is down about 1,000 passengers from 2023, representing a decrease of 0.4 per cent.

The decrease was starker in the fourth quarter, with passenger traffic down 9.1 per cent from the same time period in 2023.

Managing Director Ed Ratuski says the drop in the fourth quarter can be blamed on a year-over-year reduction in seat capacity to Calgary and Vancouver.
