PIERRE, S.D. (DRG News) – Over 1,500 people flew out of the Pierre Regional Airport last month.

City commissioner Jamie Huizenga (hi-zin-ga) says SkyWest, flying as United Express, continues its excellent service.

Huizenga says one problem that needs to be fixed is adding more parking space.

Because the Pierre Regional Airport has exceeded the 10,000 enplanements mark, it’s eligible for $1-million in funding from the Federal Aviation Administration.
