The Wayne County Airport Authority collects and archives air passenger data for internal and external reporting purposes. The air passenger count data supporting this evaluation covers a 15-month period from October 2002 through December 2003. The data describes the number of scheduled passengers, air taxi (commuter) passengers, and charter passengers. In addition to total passenger counts, the data also are disaggregated by direction of travel (arrival or departure) and flight destination (domestic or international).

The air passenger counts from October 2002 through December 2002 and the period from January 2003 through December 2003 are presented in this section. Air passenger counts were derived from the inbound and outbound domestic and international scheduled passenger lists; domestic and international air taxi (commuter) passenger lists, and domestic and international charter passenger lists. These air passenger counts were used to determine a baseline of air travel passengers arriving and departing. After the GLITS ITS airport components are deployed, these baseline data were used to assist in the analysis of travelers entering and exiting the airport and utilizing terminal parking facilities.

Figure 17 shows the total number of passengers by month. For the year, 2003 had a total of 16,151,930 departing passengers and 16,101,567 arriving passengers. January 2003 had the fewest departing and arriving passengers (1,154,604 and 1,100,040, respectively), whereas, July 2003 had the most departures (1,544,549) and arrivals (1,543,024).

Figure 18 shows the average number of daily inbound and outbound passengers. For 2003, a typical or average day resulted in roughly 74,000 to 100,000 total passengers arriving and departing the airport. The average number of outbound passengers ranged from about 38,000 to 50,000 per day; the number of inbound passengers ranged from about 36,000 to 50,000 passengers each day.
