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.

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
