ABIA Traffic Up – Not Down

RECEIVED Thu., June 12, 2008

Dear Editor,
    An item in the June 13 “Naked City” reports that passenger travel at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport dropped 3% in April compared to the same month last year.
    According to the activity report posted on the airport's website, passenger traffic for April (747,509) was up 3.06% from April 2007's total of 725,293.

   [The editors respond: Credille is correct: Passenger travel at ABIA went up 3% compared to last April rather than down. That percentage is still considered a decline for Bergstrom, which has seen steady year-over-year gains of between 5% and 8% most months. The Chronicle regrets the error.]
