Most of the total airport operations in the United States were located in the Southern region of the country, which reported nearly 12.9 million operations in 2022. This volume is forecast to increase up to some 18.3 operations in 2050 as the U.S. airports are slowly rebounding from the dip recorded in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
