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 movements it received at the airport, and across that window COS averaged 8.3 movements 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; the wider set is grouped on the page for airports in the United States.
