SkywestUnited4BISMARCK, N.D. (AP-CSi) – The Aeronautics Commission says the state’s eight commercial airports are continuing to break passenger boarding records.

The commission released its summary of January boarding statistics on Wednesday.

Jamestown boardings on UnitedExpress/SkyWest this year were at 584 compared to just 135 with Great Lakes Airlines in 2014, and 224 with Great Lakes in 2013. The recent high number of boardings were 599 in 2012 with Delta.

In North Dakota there were almost 3,900 more boardings this January over last year during the same period. That 4 percent increase brings passenger totals for the month to almost 101,000, the most ever recorded in January.

The state’s commercial airports have continued to see steady increases over the last decade. Aeronautics Commission data show there were only about 54,000 boardings statewide in January of 2006.

The commission says passenger boardings for 2014 were up 9 percent, bringing the total to 1.2 million.
