TRADE & TRANSPORT
TEU Traffic & Airline Passengers
Traffic of imports transported in Twenty-foot equivalent (TEU) containers at the Port of Oakland has posted year-over-year decreases for the last 5 months. Exports have continued to increase, due in part to China’s growing economy and the falling value of the US Dollar.
Since October 2007, monthly passenger traffic at the Oakland Airport has posted annual decreases, with the number of total passengers falling sharply in April 2008, when 267,738 fewer passengers traveled than in April 2007. San Francisco International continues to post year-over-year increases in total passengers, while San Jose Mineta Airport has posted annual decreases since December 2007.
