Thanks for posting, Knope. I meant to do this today, but haven't had time to get to it yet.

These numbers are significant, and could reflect an increase in FL and YX/F9 connecting traffic being routed through MKE, as well as higher O&D at MKE due to Southwest, Republic/YX's rebuilding, etc.

This is great news, and proves what I have been sharing for the past couple months...that traffic at MKE is outpacing national trends. At this time, MKE is not a dormant air travel market. We are seeing some impressive gains. Clearly, more people are using MKE for their travel, and MKE is successfully attracting some travelers from other airports.
