2nd month in a row down. A couple of observations...

Domestic flights are a mixed bag with some up and others down but international flights continue to increase. Even air Canada's little express is getting a lot of growth. Maybe the route will be upgauged in the future.

Cargo is up but mail by air and belly freight are down.

General aviation is down across the board. Is it due to smaller regional airports getting more private plane traffic? Less military activity at the port as well.

Overall it's not that bad but it does seem to indicate at least a temporary halt in growth. I'd like to see a reversal happen soon because if it continues, it could indicate a deeper problem if only concentrated to the domestic side.

Still we are 5% above where we were last year but that number will shrink if we continue the year with monthly declines.
