Winnipeg Richardson International Airport saw a record number of passengers coming through its doors in 2018.
A total of 4.5 million passengers used the airport last year, which the Winnipeg Airports Authority (WAA) says is up 4.5 per cent from the previous year. It’s the fifth consecutive year the airport has seen its total passenger volume increase.
August 2018 was the busiest month the airport has ever seen.
“WAA continues to work with our partners to expand travel options for our region,” said Barry Rempel, WAA’s president and CEO.
