~ Colorado Springs Airport experienced a decline in passenger enplanements in May 2026, with a total of 106,722 compared to 112,023 in May 2025. This decrease of 4.7 percent is believed to be a result of various factors such as economic caution, higher fuel costs, and increased airfares.

According to the latest traffic report, Delta Air Lines saw a significant increase in enplanements, rising by 68.6 percent. This growth can be attributed to the addition of a second daily flight to Salt Lake City (SLC) and the use of larger aircraft for flights to Atlanta (ATL). American Airlines also experienced a modest increase of 3.5 percent due to their new service to Chicago O'Hare (ORD).

In other news, Colorado Springs Airport has announced its partnership with Cottonwood Center for the Arts for an upcoming exhibition titled "Many Happy Returns - A Birthday Exhibition for Colorado and America" in July. The airport was also the starting line sponsor and official airport of the International Pikes Peak Hill Climb that took place from June 23-25. Additionally, it is proud to serve as the official airport sponsor of the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo from July 8-12.
