Future of passenger air service looking bright in Salina

Although the current carrier, SkyWest Airlines, has been quiet after announcing it will be terminating service in the community, the Salina Airport Authority is encouraged about the future of passenger service to and from Salina. Tim Rogers, the executive director for the airport authority, updated the Salina City Commission Monday about the situation, and said that a proposal was submitted last week to the United States Department of Transportation (U.S. D.O.T.) for Essential Air Service (EAS) to the airport. “One proposal was received from Denver Air Connection…proposing 50-seat regional jet service to and from Salina and Denver, with an option for continued operation also to and from Salina and Chicago,” Rogers said.
