PIERRE, (KCCR) — The City of Pierre will be rolling out the red carpet for the second time to welcome the return of SkyWest Airlines to Pierre Regional Airport. Airport Liaison to the Pierre City Commission Jamie Huizenga says SkyWest will be assuming air service from Denver Air Connection Friday…
Pierre welcomed SkyWest the first time they serviced Pierre, winning an emergency Essential Air Service bid in 2019 six years ago. After a two year contract SkyWest overbid for Pierre. Denver Air was awarded the contract and has served Pierre the last four years…
Huizenga says it’s good to know Pierre’s air service has stabilized after years of inconsistency…
Pierre requested a rebid of the contract after Denver Air won to try and keep SkyWest. That attempted failed. The City did not hold a welcoming ceremony for Denver Air Connection in 2021.
