SkyWest Announces Pierre Departure Plan

PIERRE — SkyWest Airlines has announced its final departure from Pierre Regional Airport. Airport Liaison to the Pierre City Commission Jamie Huizenga says Pierre will return to a single carrier serving the city early next year…

SkyWest’s flight schedule will be cut back starting in December…

Huizenga says while Pierre and Watertown waited for official confirmation from federal transportation officials about a possible rebid of the city’s Essential Air Service contract, it gave time for the city to gain confidence in Denver Air Connection…

Huizenga publicly thanked SkyWest for what he called a “truly outstanding” job in staying in Pierre and serving citizens and hunters through the end of the year.
