As you might have seen, we officially renamed Pensacola International Airport to Pensacola Intergalactic Airport in honor of this year’s Pensacon pop culture festival.

In addition to temporarily renaming the airport, we also upgraded some of our decorations to make sure that the Jedis, Klingons, Power Rangers, Clone Troopers, animes, superheroes, and everyone else feels a warm “Gateway to the Gulf Coast” welcome.

We were thrilled to see that Pensacon 2022 set another record for attendance, beating their Summer 2021 record of more than 30,000 attendees. This is an exciting partnership for us and we always look forward to welcoming Pensacon guests, attendees, and cosplayers to Pensacola.
