Frequently asked questions

How many passengers does Central Wyoming Regional Airport handle?

Central Wyoming Regional Airport (RIW) screened about 27,800 departing passengers at TSA checkpoints in the 12 months to September 30, 2026, roughly flat (-1.0%) on the prior 12 months. That ranks RIW 322nd of 458 US airports by departing passengers screened in Passenger Index's data.

How many passengers did RIW screen last month?

In September 2026, 2,472 departing passengers were screened at TSA checkpoints at Central Wyoming Regional Airport (RIW), according to Passenger Index's compilation of TSA FOIA throughput data.

Is passenger traffic at RIW growing?

In the 12 months to September 30, 2026, departing passengers screened at RIW were roughly flat (-1.0%) year over year. Year-over-year compares the same 365 days a year earlier, using only days reported in both years.

Is RIW a large hub airport?

RIW is a non-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 (under 0.05% is the non-hub band). The FAA's official hub classes use calendar-year enplanements, so they can differ slightly.

Does this include international arrivals at RIW?

No. RIW is not one of the airports in CBP's Airport Wait Times data, so there is no international-arrivals figure. The departing figure still counts passengers bound for international destinations, because TSA screens them like everyone else.

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 Central Wyoming Regional 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.
