ROCKFORD — Spring break is looking like a hit for passenger growth at Chicago Rockford International Airport.
More than 33,000 vacationers are expected to pass in and out of the airport this month, say airport officials.
A stronger economy, new routes to Colorado and the Dominican Republic, additional flights for routes, and the use of larger planes by low-cost carriers Allegiant Air and Direct Air are all ingredients for the airport to eclipse the all-time busiest month
It’s likely to get even busier this month when Direct Air adds flights to the Fort Myers area. The airport expects 13 arrivals and departures daily in a couple of weeks,
