Frequently asked questions

How many passengers does Guam International Airport handle?

Guam International Airport (GUM) screened about 1.3 million departing passengers at TSA checkpoints in the 12 months to September 30, 2026, down 1.4% on the prior 12 months. Over the same period, US Customs and Border Protection processed about 896,000 arriving international passengers there. That ranks GUM 102nd of 458 US airports by departing passengers screened in Passenger Index's data.

How many passengers did GUM screen last month?

In September 2026, 85,741 departing passengers were screened at TSA checkpoints at Guam International Airport (GUM), according to Passenger Index's compilation of TSA FOIA throughput data. CBP processed 54,348 arriving international passengers there that month.

Is passenger traffic at GUM growing?

In the 12 months to September 30, 2026, departing passengers screened at GUM were down 1.4% year over year; CBP international arrivals were -3.2%. Year-over-year compares the same 365 days a year earlier, using only days reported in both years.

Is GUM a large hub airport?

GUM is a small hub in Passenger Index's FAA-style classification: it handled 0.1% of national TSA checkpoint throughput in the 12 months to September 30, 2026 (0.05% to 0.25% is the small hub band). The FAA's official hub classes use calendar-year enplanements, so they can differ slightly.

How many international passengers arrive at GUM?

US Customs and Border Protection processed about 896,000 arriving international passengers (US citizens and visitors) at GUM in the 12 months to September 30, 2026. Travelers who cleared US immigration abroad at a preclearance airport (for example in Canada, Ireland or the Caribbean) arrive as domestic passengers and are not in this count.

Can this be split into domestic and international passengers?

Not from this data. TSA screening does not record where a passenger is flying, and CBP counts international arrivals only, so there is no international-departures figure to subtract. The two series measure opposite directions and are shown side by side, never added.

Why is this lower than the passenger count Guam International Airport reports?

Airports usually report enplaned plus deplaned passengers, counting every arriving and departing passenger including connections. TSA counts departing passengers once, at screening; arrivals and connecting passengers who stay airside are not screened again, so this measure runs well below airport-reported totals, especially at connecting hubs.

Where does this data come from?

TSA checkpoint throughput by airport from the TSA FOIA reading room and passengers processed from CBP Airport Wait Times, both US federal public-domain data, compiled and validated by Passenger Index. The 12-month headline is rounded to three significant figures; the monthly and annual tables are exact. Passenger Index Premium has the full daily series.
