The airport expects to see Philadelphia back on the nonstop schedule in August, and New York s LaGuardia Airport when business picks up, likely in late summer or early fall, said Kayla Kovarna, communications manager. We are excited so many nonstop options are back on the schedule for Iowans to get away, she said.
The news comes as passengers traffic at the airport rebounds. In April, the airport had 141,067 passengers travel to its 18 destinations. That s a whopping 1,210% increase from April 2020, when air travel ground to a near-halt as the coronavirus pandemic spread throughout the country.
Yet there s still a long way to go to get back to record highs the airport was experiencing before the pandemic. In April 2019, 241,156 passengers traveled through Des Moines.
