RFD releases January passenger numbers

The Chicago Rockford International Airport (RFD) released traffic statistics for January 2014. Reports show an 8.6 percent increase in traffic over January of 2013. The increase can be attributed to strong Florida and Arizona traffic and the introduction of service to Puerto Vallarta.

“RFD is off to a great start thanks to the increased flights to warm locations and a convenient, hassle-free travel experience that our passengers have come to expect,” said Mike Dunn, RFD Executive Director.
