Flint Bishop International Airport (FNT) continues its positive growth. The statistics are now out for January, and our enplanements were up double digits, coming in at a 10.15 percent increase in passenger traffic year-over-year. Airport Director, Nino Sapone, “The largest growth came from American Airlines, whose 80.31 percent growth can be attributed to the launch of their new nonstop to Charlotte, which began on September 5th. Additionally, Allegiant began Sarasota on November 24th, and also returned their popular seasonal route to Ft. Lauderdale on December 20th. We’re also excited to see them launching Nashville in June.”
“As we head in to the busiest time of the year at our airport,” stated Sapone, “I wanted to remind everyone about our FNT Visitor Pass Program. It allows non-ticketed people the opportunity to go airside and spend some extra time with friends and family or to meet them at the gate to surprise them. Applicants may register up to, but not more than 24 hours in advance of their visit.” The FNT Visitor Pass is a free program available (5) days a week, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m..

All participants must go through the general boarding lanes at the security checkpoint to be screened by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The TSA and/or the Bishop International Airport Authority reserve the right to revoke the FNT Visitor Pass from any individual who may pose a security risk, a risk to any passengers or customers, and/or violates any of the rules and regulations of the airport or TSA.
