Another overdue congratulations to our flight student, Amy! Amy achieved her Private Pilots license while running a business, raising a big family and getting married! No such thing as a full plate in her world...We’re incredibly proud of Amy and grateful to her instructor, Weston, for helping her turn a big dream into reality.

Want to feel as happy and proud as Amy does here? 😄
We still have a few spots available in our upcoming ground school, but registration closes next Tuesday.

We are over the moon with this news! Thank you to the La Crosse Regional Airport for working tirelessly and persistently to provide more flight options for our community. They can have a thankless job, as some wish for destinations elsewhere, but adding United to the lineup is a HUGE WIN for the City of La Crosse, Wisconsin! The addition of a main line carrier helps retain jobs and businesses, supports our universities and students, provides more destinations for leisure travel and the best part, creates more competitive pricing so people hopefully choose to skip the drive to Minneapolis. And maybe then, a certain carrier will notice and miss our amazing community...For now, we are going to celebrate with the airport and start preparing for all the exciting work ahead! ✈️✈️✈️

More big news for the Coulee Region!

We’re excited to announce that United Airlines will begin daily service at La Crosse Regional Airport (LSE) starting May 7, 2026, with four flights per day!

This new service strengthens our connectivity to the national air network, expands travel options for our region, and reinforces the continued growth of LSE. We’re proud to welcome United Airlines and look forward to the opportunities this brings for business, leisure, and our community.

Tickets go on sale this Thursday January 29th. Head out to www.united.com to book!

A BIG Congratulations to Kassandra and Max! 🥳 Kassandra passed her Private Pilot Checkride right after the New Year (who says you can't learn to fly in winter??)! Our employee, Max, also accomplished his first solo flight a couple months back and is well on his way to achieving his license like Kassandra. We love watching people achieve their dreams and goals!

If you want to be one of these smiling faces, there's still time to sign up for Private Pilot Ground School starting on February 10th! Call us at 608-783-8359 to learn more or register 🛩️🛩️🛩️

Let's hear it for some good news!!! 🥳🥳🥳

We are thrilled to celebrate the news that Allegiant is servicing the La Crosse Regional Airport! Whether you love these destinations or not, this is outstanding news for the airport and community, and a positive step in the right direction. When other airlines see these planes filled, you can guarantee more planes and options will follow.

Thank you to JD, Lauren and the entire La Crosse Regional Airport team for working hard, being persistent and playing the long game on this one! New air service doesn't happen overnight. It took a lot of faith and dedication to make this happen.

Colgan Air cannot wait to welcome Allegiant to our airport family! ✈️🤩

Today, we want to express our deepest gratitude to the veterans on our team and all who have served our country.

We’re especially proud of our CEO, Tim Colgan, a Vietnam Veteran who served in the Army, and our long-time employee Troy Bakke, an Air Force Veteran. We’d also like to recognize Bob Heilman (left in the photo below), a WWII Veteran who helped get Colgan Air off the ground to make it a reality. Veterans never stop making sacrifices for their families and communities!

It’s also a true honor to play a small part in the Freedom Honor Flight, and we thank the dedicated team, many of whom are veterans, for their tireless efforts to honor all who have served.

From everyone at Colgan Air, thank you Tim, Troy, Bob, and all veterans. We honor your service and sacrifice today and every day!
