Mike Wilson, the airport manager in Killeen, spoke on how recovery has gone.
âConsidering what the outlook was looking like in March and April last year, the outlook is totally different,â Wilson said. âEverything is starting to pick up and we are picking up at a much faster pace.â
He added that the airport ended the last four months of 2020 with about 70% to 73% of the passenger volume it was seeing during the same time in 2019.
âThe first two months of 2021 were very low due primarily to the weather events,â Wilson said. âHowever, March and April numbers are very good. In fact, Aprilâs passenger numbers are about 92% of what we had in April of 2019. As of March, most airports in the country are around 65% of the passenger volume compared to this time in 2019,â Wilson said.
