Pierre Not Planning To Seek Minneapolis Route From Denver Air Connection Before Current Contract Ends

PIERRE — Don’t look for the City of Pierre to reach out to Denver Air Connection for a flight to Minneapolis anytime soon. Airport liaison to the Pierre City Commission Jamie Huizenga addressed what he called rumors that “Pierre could be getting air service to Minneapolis” at the end of Tuesday night’s City Commission meeting…

Huizenga says Pierre would have to lose flights to Denver if a Twin Cities flight would be approved…

Huizenga says the city remains engaged in requesting a re-bidding of the current Essential Air Service contract…

Denver Air announced last month the addition of a fifth Embraer E-145 50-seat jet to its fleet. That plane is expected to enter service in October.
