MONCTON, N.B. - Traffic in and out of the Greater Moncton International Airport was up significantly last year.

The airport saw a 7.2 per cent increase in passengers and a 5.2 per cent increase in cargo in 2010.

Last year also saw the addition of Porter Airlines, and increased service from Continental Airlines.

Airport officials say so far, 2011 is also looking up with Sunwing Vacations now offering a Jamaican destination from Moncton, and WestJet beginning a seasonal Orlando service.

Porter Airlines also recently announced it was increasing the frequency of flights from Moncton to Ottawa.
