Series 2015–2025 · SBN (boundary)
The intermodal fact is stated by the airport and its reference record alike: SBN is one of the few multi-modal transportation facilities in America providing air, interstate bus, and interstate rail service at one terminal — the South Shore Line's station sits at the terminal, and the authority counts more than 1.5 million air and rail passengers a year through the complex in its recent reporting. The numbers as a series, enplanements where the record gives enplanements and total passengers where it gives totals, each at its source's measure: enplanements 314,300 in 2015; 337,140 in 2020; 363,078 in 2022; 411,377 in 2023; 451,184 in 2024, up 9.6 per cent. Total ticketed passengers: the old record was 991,457 in 1997; in 2025 the field carried 1,111,002, up 23.5 per cent over 2024 — the first million-passenger year in its history and the latest record year, with 41 of the 50 busiest days in the airport's history falling in 2025 and March (50,602) and October (51,339) the first months ever to pass 50,000 boardings. Cargo runs beside the passengers: 23.4 million pounds in 2019 in secondary reporting, 19.2 million pounds in 2024 by the airport's own statistics.
