NYC airports set a new record in 2024 with 149.9 million travelers, surpassing 2023’s 143.8 million. The holiday season saw a surge, with December hitting an all-time high of 12.5 million passengers.

PANYNJ Chairman Kevin O’Toole credited the growth to $30 billion in airport upgrades, including JFK’s massive redevelopment, LaGuardia’s transformation into the nation’s top-ranked airport, and Newark Liberty’s ongoing modernization.
