Another month, another record broken at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. In May 2022, reports AUS, passenger traffic was up 82.68 percent compared to May 2021 “with 2,021,747 passengers flying during the month, setting a new record for busiest month ever at the airport.” That’s a lot of people and a lot of airplanes.
