If anyone is interested, WAA has posted Q1 traffic numbers.

Generally higher than last year, overall Q1 at about 85% of 2019
It’s a bit early for carriers to be done their winter schedule, but it looks like the 3rd MSP flight may run through the winter. With that plus ORD and DEN, and assuming we hold the same load factors, that would put next January traffic at about 46,000 to the US without any further schedule enhancements.
For this summer, the ATL, ORD and DEN additions should add about 15,000 passengers per month compared to last year. Which would be about 40,000 in August, which won’t quite make a record August but does get past 2019 levels.
I don’t keep as close track of domestic schedules as I used to, but hopefully we see a virtuous cycle on all sectors of more traffic driving more service driving more traffic.
