Airline board drop "not a big concern"
(2007-07-24)
(Prairie Public) - North Dakota's airports saw a nearly four percent drop in passengers in June, compared to June of 2006.

The number of passengers dropped by nearly 2100.

"You know, we had a record year last year, so I don't know if this is an aberration, or we're kind of back to normal," said State aeronautics commission director Gary Ness. "It's still a large number in comparison."

Ness says there may be some reasons why boardings dropped.

"Some are cancellation of flights, some are a lack of fare deals, and people may just be waiting to travel until later," Ness said.
