I've consolidated some of the top airports to see the change between 2019 and 2021 from the latest day's worth of data (June 13th). I excluded cargo heavy airports such as MEM, SDF, and ANC, because those would more likely reflect cargo demand, not passenger demand. Not too many surprises, with the top "recovered" airports in the Sun and Mountain destinations, and the least recovered airports basically SFO and the Northeast.
Again, this is the change in aircraft movements (arrivals + departures), but it looks like it follows a lot of the passenger data that has come out.

Hawaii, Florida, Texas, Mountain West/Desert Southwest (+SNA and LGB surprisingly) still leading aircraft movement recovery. NYC/BOS/Bay Area still lagging very badly, even accounting for the continued decrease in longhaul international flights. (PDX is also surprising to me in their lack of recovery.)
I am curious about these numbers.
SLC May: 92.1%
SLC June: 93.9%
BNA May: 83.4%
BNA June: 92.4%
TPA May: 87.7%
TPA June: 93.2%
FLL May: 85.8%
FLL June: 91.5%
AUS May: 71.7%
AUS June:
What explains the discrepancy between the movements and the reported passenger numbers for these months? Given the trend, the July numbers should be higher for each. But AUS for example had movements at 106% while the most recent passenger numbers (May) are still a bit lower than 2019.
These were all obtained from the airport websites.

Movements and passengers don’t correspond on a 1:1 basis. Things like plane size, load factor, and movement type (commercial vs cargo vs general aviation) inevitably come into play.
That said, the FlightAware data seems to align on the trends in terms of which airports have recovered the most from a pax perspective.
