RFD Releases September Passenger Numbers
Year-to-Date Traffic up 5.4%
Rockford, Ill. – The Chicago Rockford International Airport (RFD) released traffic statistics for September 2013. Reports show a decrease in traffic over September of 2012. The decrease can be attributed to the end of Frontier service to Denver and the reduction of seasonal service to Orlando and Punta Gorda. Flights departing in September averaged a 93% load factor.
“We continue to explore options to bring popular destination airline service to RFD and with the resumption of Punta Gorda service last week, remain on track to outpace 2012 passenger traffic with a 90% load factor,” said Mike Dunn, RFD Director.
Monthly Traffic Statistics
September 2013 – 9,689 Passengers
September 2012 – 13,147 Passengers
Year-To-Date Statistics

Myers, Las Vegas, Orlando, Phoenix, Puerto Vallarta, Punta Cana and Tampa Bay.
