Airport reports modest ridership increase; Contour schedule adjusts March 29
Summary
February enplanements rose to 377 from 359 a year earlier and the airport reported a 44.8% estimated load factor; Contour Airlines schedule will shift March 29 with revised flight times for MBL–ORD rotations.
Airport staff reported modest year‑over‑year growth in passenger activity: February 2026 enplanements were 377, compared with 359 in February 2025. The packet lists an estimated February load factor of 44.8% and noted one cancellation in February, with delays and cancellations attributed mainly to maintenance and late arrivals into Chicago O’Hare (ORD).
The packet also communicated schedule adjustments from Contour Airlines effective March 29: updated flight times for MBL–ORD rotations were provided, including an earlier MBL–ORD departure and later inbound returns to MBL on some days. Staff said Contour operates two round trips per day on most days of the week, with one round trip on Tuesday and Saturday. The authority recorded these updates in the director’s report and included airline schedule details in the meeting packet.
