Contour Airlines to Launch Nonstop Flights from Macon to Washington Dulles

Contour Airlines has announced the launch of new nonstop service from Macon-Bibb County (MCN) to Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), beginning May 1, 2025. The airline is offering an introductory fare starting at $99 one way.

The new route marks Contour’s first jet service to Washington Dulles. The airline will operate daily flights using a 30-seat Embraer ERJ-135 aircraft, featuring all-leather seating with expanded 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. “In addition to easier access to Washington D.C. and the surrounding areas, passengers can connect to over 100 destinations with easy and seamless connections on United Airlines.”

Macon-Bibb County Mayor Lester Miller praised the addition, stating, “This is a very exciting change for passenger service here in Macon, giving travelers and families many more options of cities to visit, and I want to thank the Contour and Middle Georgia Regional Airport teams for making this possible.”

Gary Wheat, President & CEO of Visit Macon, noted the benefits for tourism, saying, “This change not only opens connections for Macon travelers, it creates a new audience of visitors to Middle Georgia from across the country.”

The transition from Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) to Dulles International Airport (IAD) provides enhanced connectivity for both business and leisure travelers, with expanded global access through Contour’s interline partner, United Airlines.
