SkywestUnited3BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Passenger numbers in June at North Dakota’s eight commercial service airports were up more than 6 percent over the same month a year ago.
 
     The North Dakota Aeronautics Commission says there were nearly 100,000 boardings in the month, an increase of about 6,000 from June 2013.
 
     The month marked the first time that all eight airports have been able to offer jet service. Devils Lake and Jamestown added jets to Denver on June 5.
 
     Aeronautics Commission director Kyle Wanner says air service has never been better in North Dakota.

On a recent Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Jamestown Regional Airport Manager, Matt Leitner pointed out that the 334 boardings in Jamestown  in June 2014  was the best number since March of 2012, with the carrier at that time Delta, which offered a comparable aircraft.

The June 5-30, 2014 boardings compare to Great Lakes Airline numbers of 218 boardings in 2013 and 175 in June of 2012.

Leitner said Jamestown may be looking at  600 boardings for July, that would make it the best July for boardings since 1978.
