PIERRE, S.D.(DRGNews)- Flight times at the Pierre Regional Airport will start to change next month and will convert completely to the new times in April 2022.

Denver Air Connection Director of Business Development Jon Coleman says they’re making the adjustment now that they are the only commercial air carrier serving Pierre.

Coleman explains why they’re doing a slow transition rather than abrupt start for the new flight times.

DAC currently provides 12 flights per week between Pierre and the Denver International Airport, with there being two flights on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. Coleman says the current plan is for those mid-day times– arrival at 1:50pm and departure at 2:25pm CT– to remain the same.
