Construction upheaval at Charleston International Airport did not dampen passenger’s desire to fly in and out of the gateway to the Holy City during 2013.
The state’s busiest airport set a new passenger record last year.
Nearly 2.9 million people passed through the airport in 2013, airport officials said Friday. That’s about a 10 percent increase over the 2012 passenger total and up from 2.5 million in 2011.
