MEDFORD, Ore. — Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport is coming off its biggest month ever.
The Mail Tribune reports the Medford airport soared to an all-time monthly high of 105,954 passengers last month, a 17.8 percent jump over July 2017’s 89,948 figure.
Ashland-based travel writer Ed Perkins credits the passenger boom to a growing economy and a growing population in the area.
