Eugene Airport services 1M passengers in 2017, breaks record
EUGENE, Ore. – The Eugene Airport has surpassed 1 million annual passengers in 2017, the airport’s first time doing so.
The Register-Guard reports that officials announced the milestone on Monday.
The city-owned facility had inched close to the 1 million mark in 2016 but fell short.
A robust economy and added flights have contributed to the airport breaking annual passenger numbers for seven consecutive years.
The airport competes for air travellers with Portland International Airport, which is a two-hour drive from Eugene.
The Portland airport usually attracts more than 1 million travellers per month.
Last year, 18.3 million people arrived or departed from Portland’s airport.
