FL Airport Sets All-Time Travel Record In June With More Than 300K Passengers

ST. PETERSBURG, FL — The St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport set travel records in June with 300,000 passengers flying in and out of the airport that month — the first time in its history it surpassed this number, a report by PIE said.

Year to date the number of travelers is up 10 percent over the previous year, the airport’s report said.

The airport offers nonstop service to more than 60 cities and serves as a hub for Allegiant Air.

Passengers should keep this increased volume in mind while traveling through PIE this summer, airport officials said in the report.

“July is our busiest month and parking will be limited. So please plan in advance and check your options … and please consider getting a ride to PIE.”

The airport is also on pace to serve 2.74 million passengers this year — well above the previous record of 2.49 million, which was set in 2023, St. Pete Catalyst reported.

The number of travelers through the airport increased by 197 percent between 2014 and 2024, reports said.

PIE is planning a parking project to address the growth, including a 1,300-space garage and a 500-space surface lot.
