2014 News Releases

SOUTHWEST ADDS SUNNY SAN DIEGO TO CITIES SERVED NONSTOP FROM MITCHELL AIRPORT

MILWAUKEE, Wis. November 11, 2014
Building on its growth at Milwaukee County's General Mitchell International Airport, Southwest Airlines has announced that it will launch new nonstop service from Milwaukee to San Diego in 2015.

"Southwest continues to invest in Milwaukee, and I am pleased that its MKE flight schedule to the west coast is becoming even more robust," County Executive Chris Abele said. "With this addition of San Diego, Southwest will offer a remarkable 23 nonstop destinations from Milwaukee."

Southwest's new nonstop San Diego service will operate every Saturday beginning April 11, 2015. The announcement also included additional flight frequencies to Denver and Orlando. Southwest's flights can only be booked online at Southwest.com.

"Mitchell Airport is fortunate to have strong airline partners like Southwest, and we couldn't be happier that they are continuing to grow here," Interim Airport Director Terry Blue added. "Our low fares continue to draw passengers from throughout Wisconsin and northern Illinois, and these travelers will appreciate the additional flight options from Southwest."

According to newly-released U.S. Department of Transportation statistics, Mitchell's fares were lower than 77 of the top 100 largest airports. MKE's average fares in the 2nd Quarter of 2014 were $58 less than Chicago O'Hare's and $33 less than the national average.

This week's announcement continues a series of new routes announced earlier this year. In September, Frontier announced new flights to Ft. Myers and Orlando, and this winter, Southwest, Delta, Frontier and AeroMexico will operate flights from Milwaukee to six destinations in Mexico and the Caribbean. Many of those flights are available through Funjet Vacations, a national travel firm headquartered in Milwaukee County.

Mitchell Airport offers nonstop flights to 37 destinations coast-to-coast -- many on full-size mainline aircraft -- and 160 international destinations are available from Milwaukee with just one connection. MKE is served by Southwest, Delta, United, American/US Airways, Frontier, and Air Canada. The complete list of nonstop cities can be found at www.mitchellairport.com.

It is a great reflection on our community."

"We continue to remind our travelers that as fewer airlines list their flights on aggregator sites like Travelocity, Expedia and others, it is important for them to search for flights directly on the airline web sites to find all of Mitchell Airport's great service," explained Terry Blue, Interim Airport Director.

MILWAUKEE (August 25, 2014)
For the sixth consecutive month, Milwaukee County's General Mitchell International Airport (MKE) has recorded an increase in passenger traffic, rising 3.3% in July compared to July of 2013. 610,965 passengers used MKE last month. Ã‚Â Year-to-date, Mitchell Airport's passenger traffic is up 2.7% from last year.

"This year's sustained passenger growth shows that demand is increasing for air travel at Mitchell, and we continue to serve as an outstanding alternative to O'Hare for northern Illinois travelers," said County Executive Chris Abele. "We have a fantastic airport with low fares, inexpensive parking, and great nonstop service. Just this morning, Southwest Airlines announced increased service on its routes from Milwaukee to New Orleans and Ft. Lauderdale, while Frontier Airlines announced new non-stop service to Orlando and Ft. Myers earlier this month."

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation's Bureau of Travel Statistics, MKE's average airfares were nearly $57 less than O'Hare, and $24 less than the national average in the 1st Quarter of 2014.

MKE is served by Southwest/AirTran, Delta, United, American/US Airways, Frontier, and Air Canada. The complete list of nonstop cities can be found at www.mitchellairport.com.

PASSENGER INCREASES CONTINUE AT MITCHELL AIRPORT IN MAY

MILWAUKEE, Wis. June 30, 2014
Passenger traffic at Milwaukee County's General Mitchell International Airport (MKE) rose for the fourth consecutive month in May. 573,248 passengers chose MKE last month, an increase of 1.8% percent from May 2013. Year-to-date, the numbers are 2.8% higher than last year.

"With this extended stretch of increased passenger numbers, it's clear that demand for air travel to/from Milwaukee is increasing. We plan to keep the momentum going by continuing to improve MKE for travelers and airlines," County Executive Chris Abele said. "As more passengers choose Mitchell, we become more attractive to airlines looking to add more non-stop flights and destinations from MKE."

"Our advertising campaign continues to educate travelers that third-party websites like Expedia, Orbitz, and Travelocity exclude more than half our nonstop routes; they can only be found directly on airline websites, such as Southwest.com," Interim Airport Director Terry Blue noted. "Travelers are developing a better understanding of the nonstop destinations available. They're changing the way they find flights and book tickets, and all of our airlines are benefiting from that."

Mitchell Airport offers nonstop flights to 36 destinations coast-to-coast, many on full-size mainline aircraft, and 150 international destinations are available from Milwaukee with just one connection.

MKE is served by Southwest/AirTran, Delta, United, American/US Airways, Frontier, and Air Canada. The complete list of nonstop cities can be found at www.mitchellairport.com.

NEW BAGGAGE SCREENING SYSTEM IMPROVES PASSENGER CHECK-IN AT MITCHELL AIRPORT

MILWAUKEE, Wis. June 30, 2014
Milwaukee County and federal officials today unveiled a new In-Line Baggage Screening system at General Mitchell International Airport.

Shortly after 9/11, the federal Department of Homeland Security / Transportation Security Administration installed the SUV-sized L-3 machines in airports nationwide to screen all checked baggage flying on commercial airlines. The system unveiled today removes those large screening machines from the Ticketing lobby, returns the area to its spacious pre-9/11 configuration, expedites baggage processing and improves customer service.

At the event, Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele; Milwaukee County Supervisor & Chairman of the County Board's Transportation, Public Works and Transit Committee Michael Mayo, Sr.; Milwaukee County Director of Transportation Brian Dranzik and TSA Assistant Federal Security Director Robert Ronge explained the benefits:

The L3 machines carried a large footprint, were inefficient, and hampered passenger flow.
Removal of the old machines makes Ticketing much more spacious.
Passengers can once again leave their checked baggage at the counter with the Ticket Agent, instead of having to move it themselves to an L-3 for screening.
Baggage is now being screened in a new state-of-the-art facility, using the latest baggage handling technology.
The new facility ensures that luggage can get from the ticket counter to the aircraft in the most secure and efficient manner possible.
This $30 million dollar project didn't use a single property tax dollar, and also came in under budget. The TSA funded $21 million of the total cost.
This new building is 24,000 square-feet, and has more than 3,100 feet of conveyor belts.

County Executive Abele said, "This is the latest in a series of investments we are making in Mitchell Airport to ensure that we provide the best possible experience for passengers. Earlier this year, we cut the ribbon on the new Miller Brewhouse. Later this year, we will open the first phase of our new Baggage Claim facility. And, today we are reclaiming full use of our Ticketing area."

Supervisor Mayo, Sr. said, "The new In-Line building is a great example of a strong partnership between Milwaukee County's Mitchell Airport, our airlines, and the federal TSA. This impressive system is a win-win for the taxpayers of Milwaukee County as well as airline passengers from Wisconsin and northern Illinois."

Abele added, I'd like to thank Interim Airport Director Terry Blue, his entire team, the TSA, and the architects and contractors who worked on the project for making it a success. We have a beautiful facility, and this is an exciting time in the history of Mitchell Airport."

MITCHELL AIRPORT TRAFFIC UP 6% IN APRIL, THIRD STRAIGHT MONTH OF GAINS

MILWAUKEE, Wis. June 3, 2014
Passenger traffic at Milwaukee County's General Mitchell International Airport (MKE) is continuing to climb. 575,548 passengers used Mitchell Airport in April, an increase of 6.4 percent from April of last year.

"Mitchell Airport's passenger counts have increased steadily since the launch of our advertising campaign letting travelers know that third-party websites such as Expedia, Travelocity and Orbitz don't include many of MKE's flights," County Executive Chris Abele said. "More than half of our nonstop routes can only be found on Southwest.com. These higher passenger numbers reflect that travelers are changing the way they find flights and book tickets."

"Year-to-date, we're up more than three percent from 2013, and it will only get busier as we head into the summer travel season," Interim Airport Director Terry Blue noted. "MKE passengers enjoy nonstop flights to 36 destinations coast-to-coast -- many on full-size mainline aircraft -- and 150 international destinations are available from Milwaukee with just one connection."

For more than six years running, MKE remains the region's low-fare leader. MKE's average airfare is $67 less than O'Hare's and $38 less than the national average.

MKE is served by Southwest/AirTran, Delta, United, American/US Airways, Frontier, and Air Canada. The complete list of nonstop cities can be found at www.mitchellairport.com

MITCHELL AIRPORT CONTINUES UPWARD PASSENGER TREND IN MARCH

MILWAUKEE, Wis. May 6, 2014
Passenger traffic at Milwaukee County's General Mitchell International Airport (MKE) is continuing to climb. 631,843 passengers used Mitchell Airport in March, an increase of 5.1 percent from March of last year.

"Our passenger counts are continuing their upward trend. We have seen passengers increase for three of the last four months," County Executive Chris Abele said. "MKE's low fares, nonstop flights, and low parking rates continue to draw travelers from throughout Wisconsin and northern Illinois."

"In January, we launched a local advertising campaign to educate travelers about the importance of using airline websites to find flights, rather than sites like Expedia, Orbitz, or Travelocity," Interim Airport Director Terry Blue added. "It's clear that travelers are receiving the message that more than half of our nonstop destinations can only be found on Southwest.com. A robust passenger increase from Southwest contributed to our increased March numbers."

For more than six years running, MKE remains the region's low-fare leader. MKE's average airfare is $67 less than O'Hare's and $38 less than the national average.

MKE is served by Southwest/AirTran, Delta, United, American/US Airways, Frontier, and Air Canada. The complete list of nonstop cities can be found at www.mitchellairport.com.

BAGGAGE CLAIM ROADWAY CLOSURE, MAJOR TRAFFIC CHANGES AT AIRPORT

Drivers should use FREE Hourly Parking to avoid construction delays

MILWAUKEE (April 28, 2014)
Drivers and passengers at General Mitchell International Airport should be aware of major traffic pattern changes beginning Tuesday, April 29 due to the Airport's Baggage Claim Renovation Project. The Baggage Claim roadway will be closed to all vehicles except shuttles and buses.

The best option for drivers to avoid delays is to use Hourly Parking. Free parking has been extended to one hour, offering plenty of time to meet arriving passengers in the terminal.
Passengers being picked up by friends or family should encourage drivers to meet them in Hourly Parking rather than the Baggage Claim curb. The first hour of parking is free.
Drivers who choose not to use Hourly Parking should expect delays on the Ticketing/Baggage Claim roadway. Arriving passengers should use the exits behind the escalators opposite from the usual exit to the Baggage Claim roadway. Drivers can meet passengers at Passenger Pickup Areas A and B, located on the shared Ticketing/Baggage Claim roadway.
Additional signage and staff have been added to assist drivers and arriving passengers. There will be no changes for passengers accessing shuttles and buses.

"The shared Baggage Claim/Ticketing roadway will be congested. Circling around the airport roadways while waiting for arriving passengers will be frustrating for drivers," said Interim Airport Director Terry Blue. "Our best advice is to use Hourly Parking instead. It is much easier, and you won't run the risk of receiving a parking violation."

More details on the new locations can be found at mitchellairport.com/ground-transportation/. Phase one of the Baggage Claim renovation project will open this summer. The entire project will be completed in 2015.

MITCHELL AIRPORT CONTINUES TO BE THE LOW COST ALTERNATIVE TO O'HARE

Fourth Quarter 2013 Average Airfares $67 Less Than O'Hare, $38 Less Than National Average

MILWAUKEE (April 28, 2014)
The latest study from the U.S. Department of Transportation shows that Milwaukee County's General Mitchell International Airport (MKE) continues to offer passengers lower average air fares than Chicago's O'Hare or the national average.

"Mitchell International Airport continues to be the top alternative to Chicago's O'Hare Airport not only in service and convenience, but also in cost savings," explained Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele. "On average, Mitchell Airport airfares were $67 less than O'Hare. Couple that with parking savings of $67.50 for an average three day stay in covered, long term parking, and travelers know MKE is a bargain."

"MKE is the only airport in Wisconsin or Illinois with service from all of the major domestic carriers. Mitchell's lower fares, combined with its ease of use and lower parking costs, continue to draw passengers from throughout northern Illinois," said Terry Blue, Interim Airport Director.

MKE's route map features nonstop service to 36 destinations (five seasonal), including Boston, New York, Seattle, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco. Southwest is the largest carrier at Mitchell Airport, and its flights can only be found at Southwest.com. MKE is also served by Delta, United, US Airways, American, AirTran, Frontier, and Air Canada. International charter service is available seasonally via Funjet Vacations and Apple Vacations to six destinations in Mexico and the Caribbean.

MITCHELL AIRPORT PASSENGER COUNT INCREASES IN FEBRUARY

MILWAUKEE (April 17, 2014)
Milwaukee County's General Mitchell International Airport (MKE) is reporting passenger numbers for January and February 2014. February traffic rose 1.1 percent, while January was down 1.5%. This follows a 3.5 percent increase in December 2013.

January's decrease was largely due to extreme winter weather in the eastern and southern portions of the U.S., grounding an unprecedented 49,000 flights and delaying 300,000 others. In all, 30 million airline passengers were affected by delayed or canceled flights in the U.S. in January.

"The airline industry is cyclical. After reaching record highs in 2009 and 2010, industry consolidation resulted in fewer flights, but we are starting to see passenger traffic trend higher once again," County Executive Chris Abele said. "Mitchell Airport's low fares continue to draw travelers from throughout Wisconsin and northern Illinois."

For more than six years running, MKE remains the region's low-fare leader. MKE's average airfare is $50 less than O'Hare's and $28 less than the nation's average.

We have nonstops to 36 destinations across North America, and Southwest Airlines is our largest carrier. Unlike O'Hare, we have all the major domestic airlines, Airport Director Barry Bateman added. MKE is also served by AirTran, Delta, United, American/US Airways, Frontier, and Air Canada.

MITCHELL AIRPORT PASSENGER COUNT INCREASES IN DECEMBER;
EXTENDS STREAK TO MORE THAN SIX YEARS AS LOW-FARE LEADER

MILWAUKEE (March 7, 2014)
Milwaukee County General Mitchell International Airport's (MKE) passenger numbers rose 3.5 percent in December 2013. In addition, MKE continues its impressive streak of more than six years as a low-fare leader. MKE's average fare is lower than that of 74 of the other Top 100 U.S. airports, including Chicago O'Hare and the nation's average.

"It's great to see an increase in the December numbers, after big swings in passenger counts over the past few years," said County Executive Chris Abele.

Mergers and consolidations of major airlines have created substantial changes at many U.S. airports since 2010. Despite significant service cuts from Frontier Airlines, MKE still served more than 6.5 million passengers in 2013, a 13 percent decline from 2012.

Airport Director Barry Bateman said, "Southwest Airlines has greatly ramped up its presence at MKE, flying nonstop to many of the cities that were served by Frontier/Midwest and AirTran. I hope everyone has seen our campaign educating travelers that they MUST go directly to the airline websites, not Orbitz, Expedia or Travelocity, to book travel to ALL of the 36 cities served nonstop from Milwaukee. Mitchellairport.com is an excellent website to see the nonstop cities and the airlines that fly there."

MKE is the only airport in Wisconsin or Illinois with service from all of the major domestic airlines.

MKE's route map features nonstop service to 36 destinations coast-to-coast. Southwest/AirTran is the largest carrier at Mitchell Airport, and Southwest's flights can only be found at Southwest.com. MKE is also served by Delta, United, American/US Airways, Frontier, and Air Canada. International charter service is available via Funjet Vacations and Apple Vacations to six destinations in Mexico and the Caribbean.

GROUND TRANSPORTATION CHANGES AT MITCHELL AIRPORT

Taxis and Shared Ride Vans are temporarily relocated during construction project

MILWAUKEE (February 27, 2014)
Travelers using General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee should be aware that a number of ground transportation passenger pick-up areas are being temporarily relocated due to the Airport's Baggage Claim renovation project.

The following changes will go into effect beginning Monday, March 3, 2014:

Taxis and Go Riteway shared ride vans will be located in the ground level of the Parking garage, behind the Rental Car counters.

The following relocations occurred earlier in the project, and remain in place:

Charter buses (Badger Bus, Coach USA, Lamers and Tour buses) are located outside Baggage Claim #5.
Milwaukee County Transit System buses stop on the Ticketing roadway near US Airways.

Drivers picking up passengers should use the Hourly section of the Parking garage, or the Surface Lot, and meet arriving passengers in the main terminal. The first hour of parking is free.

More details on the new locations can be found at https://www.mitchellairport.com/ground-transportation/. Additional changes are expected in the coming weeks, so drivers are encouraged to stay in touch with Mitchell Airport on Facebook and Twitter.

The Baggage Claim renovation project is expected to be completed in the summer of 2015.

General Mitchell International Airport is owned by Milwaukee County and operated by the Department of Transportation, Airport Division, under the policy direction of the Milwaukee County Executive and the County Board of Supervisors. The airport is entirely funded by user fees; no property tax dollars are used for the airport's capital improvements or for its day-to-day operation.

MITCHELL AIRPORT UNVEILS NEW CHILDREN'S PLAY AREAS

Ticketed passengers can access upgraded play areas on all three concourses

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (February 21, 2014)
General Mitchell International Airport recently completed an exciting upgrade of all three of its Children's Play Areas. Featuring colorful, new padded flooring and play equipment, the play areas are a great option for families who have some extra time to spend in the terminal before boarding their flights.

They feature a variety of small slides, tunnels and airplanes that are soft and safe for children of all ages. There are also interactive games and activity centers to capture the attention of children. The Concourse D Children's Play Area features "watch towers" that allow children to look out windows and see real aircraft taxiing across the airfield.

"These enhanced play areas will help make traveling with little ones less stressful, continuing our tradition of providing a better experience for passengers of all ages," Airport Director Barry Bateman added. With nonstop service to 36 destinations across North America, Mitchell Airport's unique amenities have made it a favorite for travelers from both Wisconsin and Illinois.

The Children's Play Areas, which are open to ticketed passengers at all times, are located beyond the security checkpoints of all three Airport concourses.

MITCHELL AIRPORT EXTENDS FREE PARKING FOR PASSENGER PICKUPS

One hour grace period will help drivers avoid construction on Baggage Claim roadway

MILWAUKEE (February 17, 2014)
General Mitchell International Airport announced today that the free parking grace period in the Hourly and Surface lots will be extended from 30 minutes to one hour for the duration of the Airport's Baggage Claim renovation project.

By extending free parking to a full hour, drivers picking up passengers will have more time to park in the Hourly section of the parking garage or surface lot and meet their parties in the main terminal. This will help drivers avoid circling the airport and dealing with construction traffic.

In September, Mitchell Airport began a complete renovation of its Baggage Claim building. Construction activity has restricted lanes and limited curb space along the Baggage Claim roadway, resulting in traffic backups during peak travel periods.

As the construction project moves into its second phase, the extended free parking in the Hourly garage and Surface lot will help reduce the burden on the busy Baggage Claim roadway. The Daily section of the parking garage and the Supersaver lots are seldom used for passenger pickup and do not offer a free parking grace period.
