A record number of pasengers used the Redmond airport last year.

Slightly more than 524-thousand people flew out of the Redmond airport -- and that's an increase of nearly 7 percent.

Nicole Jurgenson with the airport says its good to see.

"We had really strong year after year passenger numbers up unitl 2008.  And then after 2008, they declined and now they're back up and trending upward again."

The previous pasenger record was set in 2008 at the airport  when 492-thousand passengers used the airport.
