He said this is a good sign for summer travel at the airport, and with new, nonstop routes beginning soon to Cleveland (Frontier), San Diego (Breeze), Harrisburg (Allegiant) and Knoxville (Allegiant), JIA is on track to break passenger records previously set in 2023.

As passenger traffic continues to increase into the summer, JIA advises that passengers arrive 2 hours before their departure time to find parking, check bags and get through security.
