Only seven other months have seen more than 2 million passengers: July 2023, October 2023, July 2024, May 2022, June 2024, June 2023 and October 2022. We're keeping track of the monthly passenger totals in 2024 in the chart below. Last year, nine months set new records. So far this year February, April, May and June set new monthly records. The May total was a new all-time record for the airport. What's the busiest day on record? Oct. 21, 2024, stands as the current busiest day on record, with more than 44,000 passengers screened through TSA. The spike in passenger totals came as travelers left Austin after F1 weekend and the University of Texas home football game against Georgia.

Days during SXSW, Spring Break and Austin City Limits music festival also feature in the top 10 busiest days on record. Which airline carries the most passengers?
