City seeks Eagle jet service at Garden City Airport
Garden City officials formally petitioned federal transportation authorities to add American Eagle jet service between Garden City and Dallas without Dodge City.

Local aviation director Rachelle Powell cited a 50-50 chance and noted a decision may take weeks as city leaders await DOT questions and possible targets.
