Jackson Hole Airport Keeps Breaking Its Own Records

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:

Metric	Dec 2025	Dec 2024	% Change	YTD 2025	YTD 2024	% Change
Passengers Enplaned	32,453	31,192	+4.04%	580,702	527,292	+10.13%
Passengers Deplaned	43,398	42,461	+2.21%	580,618	527,884	+9.99%
Aircraft Takeoffs	438	409	+7.1%	6,323	5,564	+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:

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.
