The Colorado Springs Airport (COS) has unveiled several new developments and service updates in its latest monthly traffic release for February 2025. Among the highlights, Allegiant Air marked its return to COS with a gate event, reintroducing nonstop flights to Phoenix/Mesa (AZA), Santa Ana/Orange County (SNA), and St. Petersburg/Tampa (PIE) after an eight-year hiatus. These flights to the three destinations will operate twice weekly, although the Phoenix/Mesa route is seasonal, as detailed by the City of Colorado Springs.
Alongside Allegiant Air's announcement, the airport's concourse gates 9-12 are now operational with the completion of the first two phases of the ElevateCOS modernization project. A new player to enhance the traveler experience, The Lounge Colorado Springs, has opened its doors, welcoming both Priority Pass and Global Lounge Network cardholders. Adding to the ease of shopping, Hudson Nonstop has also opened, aiming to swiftly provide travelers with their essential items. The airport is preparing to further expand its horizons with the new Federal Inspection Station (FIS), set to open in June 2025, which coincides nicely with the initiation of new international flights.
One such international highlight is that Southwest Airlines is scheduled to begin seasonal flights to Cancun (CUN) starting June 7, which will last through August 2. Additionally, year-round service to San Diego (SAN) by Southwest Airlines is slated to commence on October 2, with tickets already available for purchase, as per the City of Colorado Springs.
