SMYRNA, Tenn., April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Contour Airlines is proud to announce two exciting updates for travelers in Middle Georgia, including the return of nonstop service to Baltimore and the launch of a brand-new route to South Florida.

Beginning June 9, 2026, Contour Airlines will reinstate nonstop service between Middle Georgia Regional Airport (MCN) and Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). The return to Baltimore marks a highly anticipated move for the Macon community, reconnecting travelers with a popular and convenient gateway to the Mid-Atlantic region. Contour previously operated service to Baltimore and is thrilled to bring this route back in response to strong local interest.

In addition to the return of Baltimore service, Contour is expanding its footprint in Macon with the introduction of new nonstop flights to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, also set to begin June 9, 2026. This new route comes as a direct response to community demand for convenient access to Florida’s beaches and 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.”

Local leaders also welcomed the announcement and the expanded connectivity for the region.

“We’re excited to see Contour Airlines continue to invest in Macon with the addition of Fort Lauderdale service,” said Heather Hillstrom Lowe, Deputy Director of Aviation, Macon-Bibb County. “The updated schedule, including the return to Baltimore, is designed to optimize aircraft utilization and support this expansion—ultimately strengthening the overall network available to our community.”

Mayor Lester Miller highlighted the impact for both leisure and business travelers: “If you want to tour the nation’s capital or visit the sunny beaches of Florida or catch a cruise, you’ll soon be able to do it all from here in Macon. The flights to our nation’s capital from Macon have been very popular since they began, and I’m glad Contour is continually listening to its passengers to provide the service that best fits their needs.”
