CBS San Francisco

People continued to return to the skies via Oakland International Airport in 2022, but passenger volume didn't quite reach pre-pandemic levels.

Airport officials reported Monday that more than 11 million passengers flew into or out of Oakland in 2022, a significant increase of 36.7 percent compared to 2021. However, that's a little over 83 percent of pre-pandemic levels from 2019.

While passenger volumes increased in 2022, cargo volume dropped slightly from 1.4 billion pounds in 2021 to 1.3 billion pounds.
