With coronavirus cases still surging across the country, things will be a bit different this year and it might be prudent to think about airport capacity. For those making the choice to travel this month, flying out of an emptier airport may limit the risk of covid19 exposure and allow for a little peace of mind. Key findings: Passengers flying out of Myrtle Beach, S.C., last December departed from the emptiest airport. Nearly 52,700 flew out of Myrtle Beach International Airport in December 2019, compared with its monthly average that year of more than 106,700, meaning December travel out of the airport was 49.3% that of a typical month. Up next were Portland International Jetport in Maine and Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport in Alaska.
