PIERRE — City officials in Pierre are urging patience as the city and Denver Air Connection work out what duel hub airline service will look like over the next two years. Airport Liaison to the Pierre City Commission Jamie Huizenga says the late announcement of the new contract by the U-S D-O-T will push out when an east flight can start…
Huizenga says the city fought for the community to get a Minneapolis option, but now it’s time for the community to use it, or lose it…
Mayor Steve Harding says Pierre is lucky to even have the opportunity for commercial airline service…
While the exact breakdown of flights to both cities is unknown, the proposal made by Pierre and Denver Air to federal transportation officials was eight flights to Denver with four to Minneapolis.
