The St. Pete-Clearwater airport, abbreviated PIE, ended 2017 with an overall increase of 12 percent, amounting to a total of 2,055,269 passengers for the year.
Airport officials partly attribute the increase to the fact that Allegiant, the domestic airline serving PIE, added service to nine more cities in 2017. PIE’s international airline is Sunwing Airlines. çamlıdere escort
