About The Airport
Located in one of the fastest-growing areas in America, Tampa International Airport passenger volume is surging. The airport set an all-time record in 2023 with 23.948 million passengers and is projecting about 25 million passengers for 2024, with nonstop service to more than 100 destinations (some seasonal). Recent route announcements have included Aeromexico's daily year-round flight to Mexico City and Breeze's service to Orange County (SNA) and Bangor. But even with that rapid growth, there remains plenty of unmet opportunity at TPA.
Tampa Bay’s diverse industry mix makes our community more balanced than many, with our strong local originating passenger traffic nicely complementing our compelling inbound leisure demand. Total local population in our primary and secondary catchment areas is more than 5.2 million, easily placing the region among the top 20 largest metros in the U.S. Visitors, meanwhile, are drawn by our wide variety of appealing outdoor activities with room to spread out – including 35 miles of America’s favorite white sand beaches.
