SAN JOSE — Passenger travel at San Jose International Airport is showing signs of fading, a loss of altitude in travel activity that has left the Silicon Valley aviation hub well short of its pre-coronavirus heights.
Over the 12 months that ended in March, San Jose Airport handled 12.05 million passengers. That was down 0.4% from the 12.1 million passengers the South Bay travel hub accommodated during 2023. The 12.05 million in passenger traffic over the one-year period that ended in March is a whopping 22.7% below the 15.65 million passengers San Jose Airport handled in 2019, which was the last full year before the coronavirus-spawned shutdowns began in March 2020.
San Francisco International Airport handled 50.71 million passengers during the 12-month period ending in February 2024. That was 11.8% below the 57.49 million passengers that SFO accommodated in 2019.
