Declines at airport: A slowdown at the Dickinson Theodore Roosevelt Regional Airport has gone hand in hand with the oil slowdown.
Delta Air Lines officially pulled out of the airport on Dec. 1, citing declining boardings, and has left the Dickinson Airport Authority wondering what its next step should be to help increase boardings.
Gone is a twice-daily flight to Minneapolis, leaving only flights to Denver through United Airlines.
While we’re happy United is sticking around, our airport needs another option. We’re not sure what that answer should be, or if a suitable one even exists yet.
But, Dickinson can’t be complacent with its airport and hope for the best.
Even if it can’t grow in the near future, it needs to chase growth for if — and likely when — the oil industry cranks up again.
