Sea-Tac passenger traffic in 2020 fell to 26-year low

Passenger traffic at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport fell by 61% in 2020 as airlines and businesses at the Port of Seattle-owned facility suffered for most of the year, airport officials said Friday.

Some 20 million total passengers went through the security turnstiles at Washington's premier airport last year, according to the port's annual statical review.

By comparison, 51,829,239 passengers came through the airport in 2019, which marked the ninth straight year that Seattle had set a record for total passengers. It was the eighth busiest airport in the U.S.

"The last time (Sea-Tac) was at the 2020 level of overall passengers was 1994 when it passed 20 million for the first time at 20,972,819," the airport said in its annual statistical review.
