The Pierre Regional Airport had nearly 1000 enplanements last month (Jan. 2022).
City commissioner Jamie Huizenga says January was the last month two commercial air carriers provided service.
Denver Air Connection currently provides 12, weekly, round-trip flights between Pierre and Denver. Late last year, DAC added flights to Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas (Nov. 1, 2021), and Phoenix, AZ, (Dec. 15, 2021) that connect through Denver.
Denver Air is also the sole EAS carrier for the Watertown Regional Airport. The federal Essential Air Service contract for both airports runs through May 31, 2023.
