About 835,000 passengers used the airport in August, down 2% from 851,000 a year earlier.

Small craft takeoffs and landings were up 30% from 14,250 to 18,500 year-over-year.
Passenger counts on international flights declined to about 24,000 in August, down approximately 37% from a year earlier. The declines stemmed mainly from the recent move by InterJet to end service to Mexico.
