Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News May 2, 2013) — Commercial airline boardings at Jamestown Regional Airport were at 162 in April 2013, compared to 185 in April of 2012.

Airport Manage, Matthew Leitner, on Thursdays’ (May 2, 2013) Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2 said, in May of 2012 boardings were 193, and he anticipates an increase to over 300 boarding in May this year.

Leitner pointed out that plans are being made to construction t-hangars at the airport, noting good public input on the topic from the recent public meeting.

It’s still to be decided if the new hangars would be owned and leased by the airport, and privately owned.

Leitner said this summer airport projects will include installing new gates, a new rotating beacon, and improved runway lighting.

He said Great Lakes Airlines is keeping the current flight schedule.
