(Undated-AP) -- The number of airline passengers in Oklahoma City and Tulsa declined last year.

Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City handled about 3.19-million passengers during 2002, a drop of 4% from 2001.

About 3.02-million passengers moved through Tulsa International Airport, a drop of 10% from 2001.

Will Rogers spokeswoman Karen Carney says she believes air travel is beginning to rebound from the effects of the terror attacks and a sluggish economy.

Carney says passenger activity began rising during the final months of last year.
