To celebrate the new route, Contour is offering an introductory fare starting at just 99 dollars one way.

Macon travelers will soon have a new and more convenient way to reach the nation’s capital. Contour Airlines has announced the launch of nonstop service between Macon-Bibb County (MCN) and Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), starting May 1, 2025.

This marks Contour Airlines’ first jet service to Washington Dulles, bringing a smoother and more comfortable travel experience to Middle Georgia. Flights will be operated daily on a 30-seat Embraer ERJ-135 aircraft, featuring all-leather seating with extra legroom, complimentary snacks and beverages, and a free checked bag included with every fare.

“We are excited to connect Macon with a nonstop flight to Washington Dulles”, said Ben Munson, President of Contour Airlines. “Beyond direct access to Washington D.C. and the surrounding region, passengers will also be able to connect seamlessly to over 100 destinations through our interline partner, United Airlines.”

This is an exciting change for passenger service in Macon, providing more travel options for residents and visitors, said MaconBibb Mayor Lester Miller. “I want to thank the Contour Airlines and Middle Georgia Regional Airport teams for making this possible.”

The switch from Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) to Dulles International Airport (IAD) offers major advantages for travelers. As a key hub for United Airlines, Dulles provides seamless domestic and international connections, benefiting both business and leisure travelers.

“This change not only opens new connections for Macon travelers but also brings a new audience of visitors to Middle Georgia”, said Gary Wheat, President and CEO of Visit Macon. “We now have the opportunity to expand our marketing reach and showcase Macon as a premier travel destination.”

With this new service, Middle Georgia gains a direct link to Washington D.C. and beyond, enhancing travel convenience and boosting local tourism.
