II. GENERAL INFORMATION
2.1 GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
Macon-Bibb County (MBC) is located roughly 85 miles southeast of Atlanta, Georgia and 167 miles
northwest of Savannah. It is situated in the center of the state – hence the nickname “The Heart of
Georgia.” Macon is home to two airports, the Middle Georgia Regional Airport (MCN) and the Macon
Downtown Airport. Collectively, the MBC airports generate over $160,000,000 of total economic
activity and serve as productive economic engines for the Middle Georgia Region.
The Middle Georgia Regional Airport is conveniently located less than 12 miles from downtown Macon,
with easy access to I-75 and I-16. The airport’s location is attractive for cargo operations and was
identified as such in a recent study conducted by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT).
2.2 AIRPORT BACKGROUND
MCN has been Middle Georgia’s commercial service airport since 1947. The airport was a busy regional
airport pre-deregulation with over 100,000 passengers. However, the number of enplanements declined
for over 30 years to its lowest number of 843 in 2012. Subsequently, upon establishing service with
Contour airlines, passenger enplanements have been on the rise. In 2019, MCN had 17,109 enplanements
which is the highest level since 2004. MCN also works with two major gaming operators that host
charter flights to their properties. Atlantic City, NJ, Gulfport, MS, and Laughlin, NV are their most
common destinations. Additionally, the airport recently secured an MRG which may help attract an Ultra
Low-Cost Carrier (ULCC) in the future.
In October 2023, Macon-Bibb County acquired the remaining lease of the previous FBO. Recognizing the
crucial role that an FBO plays at an airport, MBC gained greater control over this asset. MBC intends to
strategically utilize the FBO, now being operated by the County as High Note Aviation, to not only retain
aviation-related industries at the airport but also to foster the growth of businesses operating on or near
the airport premises.
2.3 CURRENT PROGRAMS
The Middle Georgia Regional Airport accommodates a variety of aviation-related activities that include
commercial service, MRO, corporate/business jet, and recreational flying.The Airport is currently served
by Contour Airlines, who offers daily, roundtrip service to Baltimore-Washington International Airport
(BWI). Current data on operational usage can be found in Appendix A.
Maintenance Repair and Overhaul has been and continues to be a strength of the airport. The airport is
home to four major facilities which have housed MRO industry leaders over the years. We expect this
sector of the industry to continue to thrive at the airport as there are promising opportunities ahead.
