people say wiki is unreliable, so we cannot take data from there

Wikipedia is being published, it is very reliable. Only sometimes you may get a stupid A__ who changes a passenger figure from 6,000 to 60,000, but you should be able to seek out those stupid changes

He's talking about a wiki from the airport's site itself.

I would think that would be more reliable.

data can be 100% taken from, you just have to check the source from wiki and if it is reliable, then the wiki page is reliable. Also, the change makes nore sense, since Porltand is Maine's largest city, yet Bangor Airport has over 1 million pax.

Here let me use a source that I can go change at the whims of any idiot on the internet.....

Especially when the FAA has all of the OFFICAL numbers published.

Airport directors have a scary tendency to fudge numbers for press releases. Many times their contracts have incentives based on the passenger numbers for their airport, or they are trying to get voters to approve a new package for some project. Or just some idiot changed a Wikipedia number...
