Airport officials say this increase of 14.27% over 2023 makes it the fastest-growing airport in the state, according to TSA numbers. Officials also credit a busy spring break season with the growth in passenger numbers and the growing number of non-stop flights available from the Appleton International 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 invest heavily in Appleton, with 36% more flights and 31% more seats year over year.
