Year-to-date traffic at Key West International Airport is at an all-time high: the airport welcomed its 1 millionth passenger in July, earlier in the year than at any previous point in airport history. Additionally, passenger traffic increased 16.8 percent for the month, year over year.

So far in 2026, 1,019,928 passengers have used the airport, an increase of 8.8 percent over 2025.

“It has been a record-setting summer, and with expanded air service and passenger traffic reaching historic levels, we are positioned to carry the momentum forward through the final months of 2026," said Richard Strickland, Executive Director of Airports. 

Fall is on the horizon, and Key West International Airport’s airlines are preparing to resume seasonal service to destinations like Chicago, New York, and Boston. 
Here’s what’s happening this fall and beyond.
