JmstnAirportJamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Regional Airport Authority will is considering offering  courtesy car service for the airport’s general aviation customers.

At Wednesday’s meeting, the board reviewed a suggestion from member Keith Veil for a courtesy car being available for use by pilots and others who fly into Jamestown Regional Airport under general aviation use, services offered at the airport outside of commercial passenger service.

Pilots who fly their own airplanes and rent hangar space are considered general aviation use, as are businesses like First Class Aviation Inc.

The authority directed Jamestown Regional Airport Manager Sam Seafeldt will find out what insurance the airport would need to have to cover the use of a courtesy car and to see what procedures should be in place for who can use the car.

In other business, Seafeldt reported that SkyWest Airlines had 922 passenger boardings in January, a 57 percent increase from January 2015. Of the eight major commercial airports in North Dakota, only Jamestown and Devil Lake Regional Airports had positive passenger boarding increases in January.

Seafeldt says Skywest employees in Jamestown won the United Airlines Quality First award for the fourth quarter of 2015. Out of 59 small airports, SkyWest Airlines at Jamestown Regional Airport came in first place for delivering a safe, reliable and quality operation.

The authority also approved its long-range strategic plan for Jamestown Regional Airport for 2016-2020. Authority Chairman Jim Boyd said he sent copies of last year’s long-range strategic plan to all authority members. No major changes were made to the document
