PIERRE — Enplanements at Pierre Regional Airport were steady but down slightly from March. Airport Liaison to the Pierre City Commission Jamie Huizenga presented April enplanements to the Pierre City Commission Tuesday night…
March enplanements were at one-thousand 137 or 92 more than in April. In April of 2022, Pierre Regional enplanements hit one-thousand 251 or 206 more than this April. For the year, four-thousand 98 passengers have boarded flights at Pierre Regional Airport. By this time last year, four-thousand 477 passengers boarded at Pierre or 379 more than this year. Huizenga had no new news to share about work to set up two-hub service to Denver and Minneapolis. However, in an interview with Watertown radio stations K-W-A-T, Denver Air Connection Director of Business Development Jon Coleman shed some light on what service to Minneapolis might look like…
Denver Air has a gate at Minneapolis they use for flights to Thief River Falls, Minnesota and Ironwood, Michigan and Pierre flights would likely go to that gate…
No permanent schedule for flights to Minneapolis have been set and it could be late summer before Twin City flights becomes available.
