COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Colorado Springs Airport (COS) welcomed elevated levels of Spring Break traffic in March, which contributed to the highest level of enplanements in the first quarter since 1998. COS enplaned 100,115 passengers in March (a 21 percent increase compared to last March) and 273,289 year-to-date. A total of 199,549 passengers traveled through the terminal, which is a 21.9 percent increase year-over-year.
“The unprecedented level of travel that we have seen this year has made us optimistic for the remainder of the year, especially as we see the highest quarter-one enplanement levels in over 27 years,” said Greg Phillips, Director of Aviation.
March boasted 119,788 seats in the market, a 15.5 percent increase from last March. The majority of those seats were filled as the month saw an 83.6 average load factor (3.8 percent higher than last year)
Looking ahead to summer travel, seats are 8 percent higher June through August than the same period last year. This summer will also boast an array of new air service, including Avelo Airlines Hollywood-Burbank/Los Angeles (BUR) nonstop flight, Sun Country Airlines, and Delta Air Lines nonstop flights to Minneapolis/St. Paul (MSP) and Southwest Airlines will initiate nonstop service to Baltimore/Washinton (BWI).

2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
