How many passengers use SFO?

SFO revenue
SFO reported $1.369 billion in operating revenues in FY2025. That was slightly below the unusually high $1.401 billion recorded in FY2024, but still leaves SFO with one of the largest airport operating-revenue bases in the country.
The airport’s revenue mix includes aviation, concessions, parking and transportation, hotel operations, and net sales and services.
SFO cargo and airline activity
SFO said total cargo and U.S. mail tonnage increased 3.7% in FY2025. Published scheduled departing seats at SFO also rose 7.3%, while Bay Area total scheduled departing seats increased 3.2%.
