Leisure Travel Up, Business Travel Lags As Pandemic Wears On

Staff / WGLT The Central Illinois Regional Airport is seeing a strong start to 2021 after COVID ravaged business in 2020. Executive Director Carl Olson said passenger traffic is stabilizing, though it is still not back to pre-pandemic levels. “The size of the monthly year-over-year decreases has been getting smaller,” Olson said. “I wouldn t say it s a full-blown recovery, but it s not trending down anymore. It has sort of found a foundation and it s starting to build back.” Last April, Olson said traffic at the airport was down 97% compared with the same month the year before. But by the end of 2020, that figure had improved to a decline of about 52%. He said the airport could soon see year-over-year increases, but the true litmus test will be how air traffic compares with 2019.
