Bismarck, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Aug 15, 2012) — The North Dakota Aeronautics Commission, reports, statewide, airline boardings for the month of July set another all-time record and are up 11% from last July numbers.

Aviation Planner, Kyle Wanner says, “With increased passengers at our airports comes the ability to attract additional airline service to more destinations. Our state is one of the few in the nation that is seeing airline expansion and profitability.”

He adds, more passenger seats are becoming available as new airlines and flights are brought into the state’s aviation system.

This growth in service is a direct result of the large increase in passenger numbers and the hard work of airport personnel and community members who have persevered in securing additional service.

Jamestown boardings in July this year were 218 compared to 521 in July of 2011, down 58-percent.
