Pittsburgh International Airport traffic report for March 2015
Spring break, new air service fuel passenger gains

Combined enplaned and deplaned traffic for March 2015 totaled 695,516 passengers. Traffic in March shows a 29.9 percent increase over February due to typical increases in spring break travel, and a 2.7 percent increase over March 2014. Available seats are also up more than 3 percent.
Carriers led by JetBlue and Delta reported year-over-year increases in passenger traffic.
