Appleton International Airport logged its busiest month ever in March 2024, welcoming 100,800 total passengers (enplaned and deplaned).
Airport officials credit a busy spring break season with the growth in passenger numbers and the growing number of nonstop flights available from the Appleton Airport.
“It’s clear more and more travelers are choosing to fly through Appleton,” said Airport Director Abe Weber. “Our airline partners continue to add seats through ATW, and our community continues to respond by choosing our airport over other options. Airlines increased the number of seats departing and returning to Appleton throughout 2023. Most notably, American Airlines continued to heavily invest in Appleton with 36% more flights and 31% more seats year over year. The Appleton Airport is served by American, Delta, and United airlines and is the only Wisconsin airport served by Allegiant Airlines.
In 2023, a nonstop route to Portland was added; in 2024 nonstop flights to New York (EWR), and Dallas (DFW) were added. Other nonstop routes include:
“We anticipate the increase in nonstop destinations and our planned terminal expansion will help us top the one-million mark in arriving and departing passengers in 2024,” Weber said.
In addition, construction is underway on a major airport expansion. The $66 million, 47,000 square-foot expansion of the main concourse is slated for phased completion starting in late 2025. For more information on construction progress, visit https://atwairport.com/elevate/
