After hitting record lows for air travel earlier this year due to COVID-19, passenger traffic is beginning to rise at Northwest Arkansas National Airport. In April, XNA had a 95% drop in enplanements from 2019, but those numbers were at approximately 71% for July. A spokesperson for XNA credits leisure as the main driver for travelers.
