"I don't want to call it a new normal because I'm not sure what the new normal is. "We think that what happening is we're finding more of what that new level is going to be," McClellan said. McClellan also has said he believes two main factors are causing the decline in passengers over recent months: a decrease in travel demand and ongoing inflation that has caused ticket prices to spike.ĮCP is located North of Panama City Beach in unincorporated Bay County.
He said the numbers show the airport is settling back into a more steady growth pattern. "We don't see a concern that our numbers are down (from 2021) based on everything that's happening in the world and the economy today." ECP provides significant benefits for business travelers including parking near the terminal and parking rewards, easy check-in and efficient security lines, and free Wi-Fi. "The thing to keep in mind is we're still up 32% over 2019," McClellan said.
