Sky Harbor traffic drops from 2011 to 2012

Feb 8, 2013, 5:48 PM | Updated: 5:48 pm

Phoenix Sky Harbor continues to see an annual traffic decline and 2012 was no exception.

According to the Phoenix Business Journal, traffic declined from 40.59 million passengers to 40.42 million passengers between 2011 and 2012.

While there was a slight decline in traffic in the last year, it remains significantly higher than the 2008 to 2010 recession numbers were.

It is suspected that the decrease in travel could be due to Arizona’s political image on recent issues such as gun control and immigration.
