Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) — Jamestown Regional Airport is seeing increases in boardings.

On Thursday’s (Jan 3, 2013) Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Jamestown Regional Airport Manger, Matthew Leitner said, in December of 2012, Jamestown boardings were 300, a 20 percent increase over boardings in November of 2012.

He said that 300 figure, is comparable to average Jamestown boardings in 2010.

Leitner says the last three months of 2012, saw the numbers increasing from earlier in the year, since Great Lake Airlines took over Jamestown air service from Delta.

He pointed out that local officials are still working with Great Lakes Airlines to restart the Sky Miles program, previously with Delta Airlines.

He added that Jamestown passengers are able to work on reservations between the two airlines from a partial co-share program.

Leitner said the airport’s web site: flyjamestown.net has more information, including the revised flight schedule that was implemented on December 1, 2012, between Jamestown and the Twin Cities, plus additional information on making reservations, and getting in touch with local travel agencies.

Leitner said the Jamestown Regional Airport Authority Strategic Planning Session will be held on Saturday January 12, 2013, at 9-a.m., at the Administration Office.

He noted some of topics are expected to include, developing land adjacent to the airport, and hangar development.

In 2013 the airport will look at securing funds for a new beacon, with 90-percent federal funding.
