MADISON, Wis. — If March is anything to go by, it’s going to be another strong year for the Dane County Regional Airport.<\/p>\n
The airport, which set an all-time passenger record in 2025, recorded more TSA screenings in March 2026 than any previous March. The total 123,795 screenings include roughly 9,200 employee screenings.<\/p>\n
“Our community continues to embrace Dane County Regional Airport and I want to thank the TSA team who showed up every day and helped make this record-breaking March happen,” Dane County Executive Melissa Agard said in a statement. “Keeping our airport moving supports local businesses and builds long-term prosperity for Dane County and the surrounding communities.”<\/p>\n
The record-breaking March was boosted by Spring Break travel, but also came at the same time that TSA workers went without pay because of an extended partial government shutdown.<\/p>\n
