December Numbers Show More People & Planes…Again

The latest activity report from Jackson Hole Airport is in, and yes, December felt busier. Turns out your intuition (and those longer security queues) were not lying.

Here’s a snapshot of how 2025 wrapped up compared with last December and the prior full year:

MetricDec 2025Dec 2024% ChangeYTD 2025YTD 2024% Change
Passengers Enplaned32,45331,192+4.04%580,702527,292+10.13%
Passengers Deplaned43,39842,461+2.21%580,618527,884+9.99%
Aircraft Takeoffs438409+7.1%6,3235,564+13.6%

Long story short? More flights. More passengers. More stuff rolling through security bins that we definitely saw people forget on the conveyor belt.

What’s Driving This Growth?

United dominated as usual, while Delta and American continued solid performance. Alaska Airlines has quietly grown, too, reminding us that yes, even smaller players can show up with respectable numbers.

If you want a wider context on this trend, we’ve been tracking the airport’s rise over the past year:

Remember this deep dive from Summer 2025?

So What Does This Mean for Jackson?

Let’s be honest, growth this steady isn’t just numbers on a spreadsheet. It’s more cars on the roads, more congested pick-up lanes at the terminal, and more “Sorry, all lots full” AM radio announcements.

Love it, loathe it, or just live here, airport activity will continue to shape life in Teton County, and we’ll keep tracking what it means for you.

Stay tuned.
