BANGOR – With the start of its fall advertising campaign, Bangor International Airport announced Monday that the number of people using the airport is continuing to grow. Passenger traffic in September increased 27.6 percent over September 2001. The year-to-date growth now measures 12.5 percent more than last year. Nationwide passenger traffic declined 8.3 percent.

The airport’s fall campaign, which started last week and will continue through early December, continues Bangor’s advertising message of “Travel smart. Fly through Bangor.” Connectivity is the constant theme of BIA’s advertising, reminding the people of the Bangor region they can easily connect anywhere in the United States and the world from their local airport.
