Tourists head back home from the Central Coast after holiday weekend

Just like Evenson, millions of other people traveled for the Fourth of July weekend. ”We saw tremendous traffic, we saw lots of people. Operations were very consistent, positive and on time,” said Michael La Pier, Executive Director for the Monterey Regional Airport. People like Craig Lassiter visited the Monterey Peninsula from Connecticut. He said he avoids the big airports, especially during the holidays. ”I didn’t want to go through all of that. Monterey is a nice easy airport; in and out no problems,” said Lassiter. “That’s why I came this way.”

Holiday weekend, inland heat draws throngs of visitors to Monterey region

With visitors to the Monterey Bay region taking to the roads to have a cooler Independence Day, many took to the skies to get to the destination. “Our passenger traffic over the weekend was strong, although only slightly stronger than any other weekend,” said Monterey Regional Airport Executive Director Mike La Pier. “According to TSA (Transportation Security Administration), we saw between 4,000 and 4,500 people board our partner airlines from Thursday through Monday. That equates to an over 85% load factor.”
