September to Remember

In case you didn't hear we had a phenomenal month of September here at RFD. Passenger traffic was up 40% year over year thanks to Allegiant Air providing service to Clearwater/St.Petersburg throughout the month.

Overall we had 8,629 passengers use the airport in September. Historically Allegiant has reduced the frequencies or seasonally eliminated service to Clearwater during September.

Another exciting area of growth has been our upgrade to the Boeing 757 on our Las Vegas route. This has grown our capacity to Las Vegas from 150 seats per flight to 217 seats per flight.

We were very pleased to keep these flights this September and with a 90% load factor the region did a great job filling the seats! We've now had eight of the past nine months see growth year over year and year-to-date traffic is up over 16%!

Going forward we continue to focus on maximizing our existing destinations and look to engage new destinations. We've heard from many of you over the year and remain focused on delivering the product you're looking for.
