COS Airport (Colorado Springs) Flight Status
Colorado Springs Airport carries the IATA code COS and the ICAO code KCOS, and its official name is the City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport. It serves Colorado Springs in the United States and belongs to the large airport class. Size and measured traffic tell slightly different stories here: despite that large classification, our own data records an average activity level at COS airport.
What our 30-day measurement recorded at COS
The traffic picture for Colorado Springs comes from our own reception measurement rather than from published schedules. Over 30 days that measurement logged the aircraft it received near the airport, and across that window the count averaged 8.3 aircraft observations per day. That daily average is the concrete number behind the activity level mentioned above: a pace at which individual aircraft still stand out on the live radar.
The measurement also shows when the airport concentrates its activity. The busiest window across those 30 days fell between 01:00 and 03:00. Read that window with care: our measurement clock runs in UTC, so the times have to be converted to Colorado local time before you compare them with the arrival and departure schedules travelers actually use.
Airlines measured at Colorado Springs
Three airlines appeared in our 30-day measurement at COS, and the balance between them was anything but even. Southwest Airlines led with 65 measurements, far more than either of the other two carriers; its flights have their own Southwest Airlines flight status page. American Airlines followed at a distance with 12 measurements in the same window, with the American Airlines flight status page as its counterpart on this site. Delta Air Lines completed the trio with 7 measurements, covered under Delta Air Lines flight status. These counts are per-airline totals across the full 30 days, so they describe how often each carrier showed up in the measurement, not a daily timetable. COS is one of the airports we cover across the country; for the wider set, start from the airport overview.
Pueblo and Denver as alternatives near COS
From the airport's position at coordinates 38.8058, -104.701, the closest alternative in our data is Pueblo Memorial Airport, about 60 km from Colorado Springs. Denver International Airport sits farther out at about 117 km, and travelers deciding between Denver and Colorado Springs for a specific trip can open that page next to the radar here and compare the current picture at both. Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport, at 128 km, is the third and most distant alternative our data lists. For the situation at COS itself, the live radar on this page shows what is in the air right now, and the arrivals and departures pages linked above it carry the flight-by-flight status.
