“The positive growth we’re experiencing at CVG is because the community continues to embrace what’s next with additional air-service options and the lowest airfares in the region,” said Candace McGraw, CEO of the Cincinnati airport. “We’ve been successful in adding new nonstop destinations, as well as working with air cargo partners to establish and grow their operations, all of which grow the airport community and positively impact the local economy.”
The airport also had airfares roughly $240 less per ticket than it did four years ago. It’s success has come from low-cost carriers finding success in the Cincinnati and Covington area.
