The Colorado Springs Airport (COS) has reported a significant increase in passenger traffic for the month of June. According to the latest statistics, a total of 234,890 passengers traveled through the airport, marking a 10 percent increase from the same period last year.

Out of this number, 116,427 passengers boarded flights from COS, showing an 8 percent increase compared to June 2023.

"Summer is always a busy travel time for COS, and this summer has not only proven that to be true but it's happened through a significant period of construction and development in the terminal and around the airport," said Phillips.
