I think the same is true with years; this year was different from the last, which was different from the year before, and soon. In 2025, we saw a decrease in average airfare, and as a result, exceeded the 100,000-passenger enplanement mark (103,763 to be exact) for the first time in 10 years. As excited as we are about passenger growth, we are never complacent when it comes to air service. We are always looking for opportunities to improve, host larger aircraft, add more flight frequencies, connect to new hub cities, and more. 2025 was the second full operational year for the new BLM Single Engine Air Tanker (SEAT) and Large Air Tanker (LAT) base. In 2024, with the new base in operation, we saw a 10X increase in retardant flown out of the Airport. Several people I spoke to in the industry thought that level of activity was going to be an anomaly, but it seems increasingly likely that those higher activity levels may be the new normal. Weare proud to support fire operations and the protection the SEAT and LAT base provide for people and property. As for what’s ahead: Airports are always in some phase of construction, either designing projects or the actual project execution. You can read more about those projects in this report. All of us at C/NCIA wish you a 2026 with blue skies and strong tailwinds! Glenn Januska Airport Director 2 2025 ATA GLANCE 103,763 Total Enplanements 3,865 (or 3.9%) More Enplanements than in 2024 $6.5 Million In Operating Revenue 282 U. S. Customs Aircraft Arrivals 7,901,596 lbs. of Air Freight 48,904 Operations (takeoffs and landings) 13,023 Commercial 38,850 General Aviation 1,922 Military 120,476 Cars Parked 2,595,825 Fuel Flowage (Gallons of Fuel Dispensed) 3 TOTAL ENPLANEMENTS Enplanements, defined as the number of passengers boarding flights, are a critical component of the vitality and prosperity of any airport. For smaller airports like ours, higher enplanements can unlock essential federal funding, ensuring the Airport remains a vibrant, long-term hub for Natrona County’s connectivity and economic growth. While enplanements help illustrate the strength of passenger demand, which can lead to more airlines, routes, and flight options, increased enplanements truly show a facility’s effectiveness in meeting citizens’ needs. ENPLANEMENT GROWTH For the first time in 10 years, 2025 had over 100,000 total enplanements, a tremendous feat after experiencing the rise and fall of air travel caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Passenger growth generates increased revenue throughout all Airport operations, including concessions, parking, and other services, which results in enhanced passenger travel experience, financial stability for the Airport, and improvements in infrastructure, amenities, and services. REVENUE AND INCOME In addition to enplanements, revenue, expenses, and other financial metrics are key indicators of C/NCIA’s financial sustainability and potential growth. These metrics reflect the Airport’s ability to cover operational costs, maintain facilities, hire and retain personnel, and provide quality services to travelers and airlines. Tracking revenue not only aids in overall financial planning but also helps ensure we can meet passenger growth and demand today and in the future. U.S. CUSTOMS AIRCRAFT ARRIVALS C/NCIA is proud to be Wyoming’s sole international airport, meaning we can welcome international flights through our U. S. Customs and Border Protec
