COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Colorado Springs Airport closed out summer 2021 with an increase in enplanements and seats, exceeding 2019 volumes. In August, 96,286 passengers were enplaned–a 23.8 percent increase from August 2019.
Total passengers increased by 23.1% from 2019 with 192,484 passengers who traveled through the terminal this month.
Increased capacity added 132,231 seats – a 38.5% increase from August 2019. The increase is due to Southwest Airlines’ five nonstop markets in March of this year and other carriers’ growth, such as using larger aircraft.
The latest route added to the COS nonstop schedule is Orlando (MCO) with Frontier Airlines. The service will launch on Friday, Nov. 5, and is available for booking now.
With the increase in traffic, travelers are reminded to please arrive 90 minutes before their flight departs, and that the Federal mask mandate is still in effect and has been extended to Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2022. Masks are required inside all areas of the airport and on all aircraft.
