yeah, fortress hubs seemed to fair a bit better than multi-hubs, generally speaking.
there also seems to be a correlation between airports in states that didn't lockdown as hard and smaller % drops in passenger traffic. i mean, the bottom 5 here are all in NY, CA, and IL.
but overall 2020 US airport passenger traffic drops were pretty brutal across the board, some just didn't free-fall quite as much as others.
2019 - 2020 % decrease in passenger traffic:
Charlotte Douglas International Airport: -46.0%
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport: -47.5%
Denver International Airport: -51.1%
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport: -52.6%
Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport: -55.1%
Orlando International Airport: -57.7%
Miami International Airport: -59.4%
George Bush Intercontinental Airport: -59.5%
Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport: -60.2%
