Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Meeting the 10,000 enplanement goal would qualify the airport to receive a $1 million subsidy from the U.S. Department of Transportation for its participation in the Essential Air Service Program. Operational revenue streams, including fuel sales, are also influenced by market factors such as high fuel prices and weather conditions.
