The Colorado Springs Airport (COS) greeted over 220,000 travelers in August, ending the summer on a high note. The airport saw a total of 221,246 passengers last month, representing a marginal decrease of 0.9 percent from the previous August. Enplanements also experienced a slight dip of 1.3 percent, totaling 110,220. This decrease can be attributed to reduced available seats based on demand and the impact of industry-wide aircraft delivery.  In August 2023, there were 6.1 percent more available seats in the market, with a total of 132,817 seats for this year.
