Summary

Supervisor Dickinson reported that United Airlines will add three flights at Central Wisconsin Airport beginning in May 2026, raising scheduled daily departures from five to eight.

Supervisor Dickinson told the Marathon County Infrastructure Committee that Central Wisconsin Airport expects United Airlines to add three flights beginning in May 2026, increasing scheduled daily departures from five to eight.

"United Airlines is coming back with 3 additional flights at Central Wisconsin beginning in May 2026," Dickinson said. He described the aircraft as a roughly 50-seat plane with a first-class and economy-plus configuration.

Dickinson credited sustained airport staff outreach and the airport board's efforts for the service recovery since the COVID-19 downturn. Committee members asked whether minimum revenue guarantee (MRG) funding, if approved by the county, would apply to the new United flights. Dickinson said he did not know and that it "depends" on prior conversations with airport leadership; he said county-committed funds exist but that he did not believe synergy's MRG action was the driver for United's announcement.

No formal county action was taken at the meeting on airport funding or MRG commitments. Committee members thanked Dickinson for the update and had no further questions.
