Huntsville airport sets new passenger traffic record in 2025

For the third consecutive year, the Huntsville International Airport set a record for passenger traffic in 2025, with 1.7 million passengers traveling in and out of HSV during the year.

Airport leadership credited collaboration with airline partners, infrastructure investments and the region’s economic momentum for the strong results.

New passenger traffic record set in 2025 at HSV

Airport officials said the record-setting year was driven by expanded capacity and strong performance from the three legacy airlines (Delta, United and American) and two ultra-low-cost carriers (Breeze and Allegiant) with new non-stop flight destinations and low-cost flights.

“Our airline partners have stepped up this year adding five new nonstop destinations, increasing frequency to Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Orlando and Tampa, and flying larger planes with greater seating capacity to meet demand.”
