January was off to a good start as far as the number of people flying out of the Pierre Regional Airport.
City Commissioner Jamie Huizenga says over 950 people flew out of Pierre last month.
Of the 971 passengers, 883 went to Denver and 88 went to Minneapolis.
Huizenga says for those flying through Minneapolis, Denver Air Connection’s ticket and baggage handling agreement with Delta is now active.
Between commercial and private flights in 2023, a total of 15,617 people flew out of the Pierre Regional Airport.
Denver Air now provides 10 round trip flights each week between Pierre and the Denver International Airport and 2 weekly round trip flights between Pierre and Minneapolis.
Denver Air also holds the EAS contract for the Watertown Regional Airport. From there, people can fly to either Denver or Chicago.
