Richmond International Airport achieved two milestones in passenger traffic.

The airport handled 4.267 million passengers — a record — for the fiscal year that ended June 30, the Capital Region Airport Commission reported Tuesday. That was an 11.5% increase compared with the previous 12-month period.

Passenger traffic in June rose 2.7% from a year ago to 383,535 passengers, creating a new June traffic record and surpassing the previous mark set a year ago, which, at the time, was an all-time record for any month. (Two months ago, the airport set a record for any month by handling 392,263 passengers.)

June’s increase marked the 21st consecutive record for monthly passenger traffic.

Four airlines reported year-over-year gains for June, led by Spirit Airlines (up 9.69%), and followed by Delta Air Lines (3.77%), American Airlines (2.48%) and United Airlines (0.47%).

But two airlines had year-over-year declines — Southwest Airlines was down 5.99% while JetBlue Airways fell 5.40%.

Delta remained the airport’s largest carrier with a 34.94% market share. American was next with a 28.01% share, followed by United (15.16%), JetBlue (9.92%), Southwest Airlines (5.29%) and Spirit Airlines (3.76%).
