Jamestown  (CSi)  It’s hoped that a planned change in the SkyWest United Express airline schedule planned in late April this year in Jamestown is temporary.

Jamestown Regional Airport Manager Katie Hemmer says, the airline told  airport  management last week that starting April 29 this year, its 6:30 a.m. United Airlines  Express  flight from Jamestown to Denver depart at 9:30 a.m. The airline says the  regional flights use the 50-passenger Bombardier CRJ100 and CRJ200 jets . The Denver airport the airline says,  for the smaller jets, is becoming increasingly congested during that time of day.

She added that change could cause connection issues for passengers, as the earlier 6:30-a.m., provides more flight connections of the 9:30-a.m., departure, and may require longer layovers.

She says the North Dakota Congressional delegation, along with the North Dakota Aeronautics Commission will be contacted, along with Governor Burgum’s Office, and local business people in an effort to restore the current schedule.

She pointed out that flyers should continue to make reservations through a travel agent or on line, to see how the schedule change would work for them.

The current 12:45- p.m. flight from Denver to Jamestown along with  the 1:15 p.m. flight from Jamestown to Devils Lake Regional Airport and then on to Denver are unaffected by the change, along with  10:45 p.m. flight from Denver to Jamestown.
