South Bay aviation hub\u2019s underperformance<\/a> signals that the airport\u2019s inability to attract more passenger activity has lingered, even years after the coronavirus pandemic devastated travel and hotel activity worldwide and in the Bay Area.<\/p>\nOver the one-year period that ended in March, San Jose Airport handled 10.37 million passengers. That was down 10.9% from the 11.65 million passengers the airport accommodated over the equivalent 12 months ending in March 2025.<\/p>\n
The airport\u2019s passenger trips during the most recently reported one-year period were 33.7% below the 15.65 million passengers that San Jose Airport accommodated in 2019, the year before the onset of COVID-linked business shutdowns.<\/p>\n
A review of the longer-term trends for San Jose Airport shows that the airport\u2019s post-coronavirus rebound has sputtered.<\/p>\n
Passenger trip totals jumped in 2021, 2022 and 2023 compared with the prior year. But passenger activity decreased in 2024 and 2025, and the ongoing 12-month trends suggest that 2026 could be a bumpy year as well for San Jose Airport.<\/p>\n
On a shorter-term basis, the airport\u2019s passenger trips during March represented mixed results.<\/p>\n
In March, San Jose Airport handled nearly 772,500 passengers. That was down 12.2% compared with the same month the year before but was up 4% from February of this year.<\/p>\n
In an encouraging mini-trend, passenger trips through San Jose Airport have increased for two months in a row compared with the prior month.<\/p>\n
