November 2025: Colorado Springs Airport Monthly Traffic Release

The commercial airlines operating at the Colorado Springs Airport reported a 5.6% decrease in total passengers during November, with 184,377 travelers passing through the terminal. Last month's decrease is indicative of seasonality, the U.S. government shutdown and the subsequent flight restrictions mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that followed. Though COS was not part of the FAA's list of 40 airports with flight restrictions, operations from those airports directly contributed to 74 cancelled flights at COS.

Colorado Springs Airport remains focused on strategic, long-term growth through expanded air service offerings and airline partnerships, positioning the airport as a key travel hub for the Pikes Peak region.
