North Dakota Aeronautics Commission \u00a0Executive Director, Kyle Wanner says, \u201cWe have now had two consecutive months of passenger growth since the month of April; however, our passengers counts are still only at 24% of pre-crisis levels. Concerns regarding further spread of COVID-19 currently limits the upside of the airline industry and its ability to attract additional demand.\u00a0 Airports in North Dakota and throughout the country are working hard on a daily basis to implement recommended practices to help ensure a safe environment for those who either want or need to utilize air transportation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
