Passenger Statistics

More than 9.7 million passengers traveled through RDU in 2008, one of the highest passenger counts on record. The airport ended the year about 3 percent lower than 2007, due to a reduction of flights as both ExpressJet and Midwest Express ceased service at the airport this year and other airlines reacted to changing economic conditions.
