Contour Airlines has announced a significant expansion of its flight offerings at Middle Georgia Regional Airport (MCN), aimed at bolstering connectivity for travelers in the region.
Starting June 9, the carrier will reinstate nonstop service to the Baltimore/Washington area and launch a new route to South Florida.
The return of nonstop service to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) responds to local demand for efficient travel to the Mid-Atlantic region. The route, which Contour previously operated, will serve as a key link for business and leisure travelers alike. Under the new schedule, the airline will provide daily flights to BWI, with additional frequencies scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays to offer greater flexibility.
Simultaneously, Contour is set to increase its presence in the Southeast by introducing a new nonstop route to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) in Florida. This addition is designed to cater to regional travelers seeking convenient access to Florida’s coastal destinations and major cruise ports.
“Contour Airlines is committed to growing alongside the communities we serve,” said Ben Munson, president of Contour Airlines. “We’ve heard from travelers across Middle Georgia who have been asking for the return of Baltimore service, as well as new options to Florida. We’re proud to deliver on both. These additions not only restore a valuable connection to Baltimore but also open the door to one of the country’s most popular leisure destinations. This is a meaningful step forward in our continued investment in Macon.”

Both routes reflect Contour Airlines’ strategy of providing regional connectivity through mid-sized airports, bypassing the complexities of larger hub-and-spoke systems. According to the airline, these routes are intended to provide the Macon community with streamlined options for both northern travel and southern vacation destinations.
To support these new operations, Contour will utilize its 30-seat regional jet fleet. The carrier emphasizes passenger comfort, noting that the configured aircraft feature leather seating and expanded legroom. In line with the airline’s standard service model, passengers on these flights will receive complimentary snacks and beverages.
