2024_Monthly_Enplanements.xlsx

This is a monthly enplanement data report for Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) operations in 2024, submitted by the Kenton County Airport Board (KCAB), which is issuing a concurrent Food & Beverage Concessions proposal request. The data tracks passenger volume across two concourses for the full calendar year 2024, with comparative analysis against 2023 performance. Total enplaned passengers for 2024 reached 4,605,114, representing a 5.11% increase over the prior year. Concourse B accommodated 56% of total traffic (2,580,381 passengers), while Concourse A handled 44% (2,024,733 passengers). Monthly performance varied, with growth ranging from -6.54% (November) to +11.15% (May) compared to 2023. The Food & Beverage Concessions proposal solicitation is being issued by KCAB for CVG, with a mandatory pre-proposal site visit scheduled for Tuesday, April 21, 2026 at 9:00 am at the Main Terminal Ticketing Level (RSVP required by March 25, 2026). Bidder questions must be submitted by 11:59 pm on Thursday, May 14, 2026, with answers posted by May 21, 2026, and completed proposals due by Thursday, June 25, 2026 at 11:59 pm.

The enplanement data provides critical context for evaluating the scale and traffic patterns at CVG that will drive Food & Beverage Concessions operations and revenue potential. Peak travel months (May through August) show significantly elevated passenger volumes, with August averaging 395,407 total enplanements. The year-over-year growth trend and concourse-specific volume distributions indicate a healthy, growing airport environment suitable for food service expansion. The concurrent solicitation represents KCAB's intent to leverage this traffic data in evaluating concessionaire proposals, as demonstrable passenger volumes directly correlate to sales projections and concession fee structures. Bidders should reference this traffic data when developing financial proposals and operating plans for their response submissions.
