One disclaimer: The 2019 value is an estimate. Based upon the figures for 2019:
https://www.metroairport.com/sites/d...ics_report.pdf
...it seems reasonable to assume the trend will continue through December, and we will see a year-over-year increase from 2018 of 3.8 %. As of November, passenger traffic was 33,729,787. 2018 ended with 35,236,676 passengers, so +3.8 % = 36,575,669.
