Colorado Springs Airport Monthly Update — April 2026

~ Colorado Springs Airport (COS) has reported positive passenger activity for the month of April 2026, with a 0.6 percent increase in enplanements compared to the same period last year. This growth can be attributed to the efforts of American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and Allegiant Air, all of which saw an increase in demand for their flights. The overall load factor for airlines serving COS also improved, reaching 76.2 percent compared to 73.7 percent in April 2025.

One airline that stood out in terms of performance was Allegiant Air, which recorded a load factor of 81.5 percent in April. This indicates a steady demand for their flights and reflects the ongoing travel demand in the region. Despite modest changes in seat capacity and operations, COS has maintained consistent performance, showcasing the resilience of the airport and its ability to meet the needs of travelers.

In addition to these positive developments, there have been notable updates at COS in May. On May 12th, NASA's ER2 aircraft departed from the airport to support the U.S. Geological Survey's largest-ever airborne hyperspectral survey. This highlights COS's role as a hub for important scientific research.
