New parking lot in the works to accommodate Boutique Air passengers: Record number of travelers have prompted parking lot changes in Chadron, Nebraska

CHADRON,Neb -

A new airline is generating some changes at a local airport.

Boutique Airlines has become an increasingly popular way for travelers to fly. The growing traffic to the Chadron Municipal Airport has prompted officials to reconstruct the airport`s parking lot that is currently made of gravel. Boutique Air began providing air service from Chadron to Denver in July and has already reached a record number of passengers. When compared to Great Lakes Airlines, Boutique Air flew more passengers in the last few months than Great Lakes has in the last year alone.

"I went there one morning and there were about 30 cars in the parking lot and about a third of them were from South Dakota. I hope to lay down a couple strips of concrete for parking this fall.  It`s in the budget next year to go ahead and concrete the whole lot," said Chadron City Manager, Wayne Anderson.

In the month of October over 300 passengers flew out of Chadron through Boutique Air.
