YOU MAY NOT HAVE A LOT OF LEG ROOM ON YOUR NEXT FLIGHT, BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE A LITTLE MORE ROOM WAITING FOR THE PLANE. PASSENGER TRAFFIC AT THE SUNPORT IS DOWN ABOUT 8 PERCENT YEAR TO DATE COMPARED TO LAST YEAR.
SUNPORT SPOKESMAN DANIEL JIRON SAYS THE DUKE CITY ISN'T THE ONLY FACILITY SEEING LOWER NUMBERS. HE SAYS THERE ABOUT 40 MEDIUM HUBS LIKE THE SUNPORT ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW, HE SAYS MOST HAVE SEEN A DOWNTURN IN TRAFFIC.
JIRON SAYS THE DROP IN PASSENGER TRAFFIC HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE ECOMONY SLOWED-DOWN. HE SAYS THE OVERALL DECLINE HAS BEEN AROUND 20 PERCENT OVER THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE YEARS.
