According to the Port of Seattle, the airport saw 3% more travelers compared to 2024 - that's about 970,000 passengers arriving, departing, and connecting through SEA.
The Port of Seattle reported that Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) experienced a record-breaking year in 2022, with 48.6 million passengers, marking a 25% increase from the previous year and surpassing the pre-COVID record set in 2019. This surge in passenger numbers was attributed to a strong recovery in travel demand, with December 2022 alone seeing 3.8 million passengers, a 14% increase from December 2019. The airport also noted significant growth in international travel, with a 70% increase in international passengers compared to 2021, and a 10% increase in total flight operations. To accommodate the rising demand, SEA is investing in infrastructure improvements, including a new International Arrivals Facility set to open in 2023, and is working on sustainability initiatives to reduce its environmental impact.
