Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2001 | 11:04 a.m.

Passenger counts at McCarran International Airport had a healthy head of steam before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks with a 5.2 percent increase in passengers in August over the same month a year earlier.

McCarran officials reported 3.38 million passengers for the month compared with 3.21 million in August 2000. Those totals brought the eight-month count to 25.2 million passengers, compared with 24.5 million for the first eight months of 2000, a 2.9 percent increase.
