Just shy of 950 people flew out of the Pierre Regional Airport last month (Jan. 2023).
City commissioner Jamie Huizenga says there were 944 enplanements in January this year compared to 978 in the same month last year.
Denver Air Connection has the current federally subsidized Essential Air Service contract for the Pierre Regional Airport, which runs through May 31, 2023. Denver Air was the only company to submit a bid for the upcoming EAS contract. Pierre City officials have asked the US Department of Transportation to approve a flight schedule that includes four weekly round trip flights to Minneapolis and eight weekly round trip flights to Denver.
DAC currently provides 12 flights per week between Pierre and the Denver International Airport. There are two flights per day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
