July passenger traffic increases led by Delta and United
MILWAUKEE (August 28, 2017) – Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele today announced that passenger traffic at General Mitchell International Airport (MKE) increased more than 2.2% in July, compared to July 2016.
Delta Air Lines and United Airlines added the most passengers, thanks to Delta’s new daily nonstop service to Seattle and United upgrading its Milwaukee-Denver service from smaller regional jets to full-size Airbus aircraft.
Passenger counts were also higher due to summer seasonal service to Portland, Oregon on Alaska Airlines and Volaris international flights to Guadalajara, Mexico.
“More airlines, more flights, and more destinations all add up to a great summer for Milwaukee travelers,” County Executive Abele said. “Airlines serving MKE have added ten new nonstop destinations to our route map in just the last year, and I encourage travelers to book tickets on these new routes. The more we all choose MKE, the more airline service we will get.”
MKE offers nonstop flights to 47 destinations coast-to-coast – many on full-size mainline aircraft – and 160 international destinations are available from Milwaukee with just one connection. MKE is served by Air Canada, Alaska, Allegiant, American, Delta, Frontier, OneJet, Southwest, United, and Volaris. The complete list of nonstop cities can be found at www.mitchellairport.com.
General Mitchell International Airport is owned by Milwaukee County and operated by the Department of Transportation, Airport Division, under the policy direction of the Milwaukee County Executive and the County Board of Supervisors. The airport is entirely funded by user fees; no property tax dollars are used for the airport’s capital improvements or for its day-to-day operation.

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.
