Overview

  • Contour Airlines, which announced the move Thursday, will restart Macon–Baltimore service and launch Macon–Fort Lauderdale flights on June 9, 2026.
  • Flights to Baltimore/Washington International will run daily, with an extra roundtrip on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to boost weekday options.
  • Fort Lauderdale service will operate four days a week on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday to serve beach and cruise travelers.
  • Both routes use Contour’s 30-seat regional jet with leather seats, extra legroom, and free snacks and drinks, and they connect to partners like Alaska, American, JetBlue, and United for onward travel.
  • Local leaders in Macon-Bibb County praised the added convenience for business trips and vacations, while industry coverage frames Fort Lauderdale as a play for cruise traffic consistent with regional carriers targeting smaller cities.
