(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The Colorado Springs Airport (COS) reported elevated levels of Spring Break traffic in March, contributing to the highest level of enplanements in the first quarter since 1998.

COS reports 100,115 passengers embarked in March and 199,549 traveled through the airport which is about a 21% increase year-over-year.
