Garden City officials say early
response to a new air service makes them hopeful the service will
prosper.
The aviation director at the Garden City Regional Airport says
American Eagle flights from Garden City to Dallas were at maximum
capacity last weekend.
The American Eagle regional jet service to and from Dallas began
on April 3. It replaced daily flights to and from Denver, which
were operated by Great Lakes Aviation.
Monthly passenger counts in April won’t be available until mid-May.
Brett Hooyerink, a senior manager with American Airlines, says
the airline is elated with the early full planes. But he says
advance bookings have gotten off to a slow start, so the airline
feels it has more work to do to attract passengers.
