Flight subsidy plan seeks two daily routes to hub airports
City officials push a program for two daily commercial flights to a hub such as Denver, requiring communities to be at least 120 miles from a hub. Big Sky Air proposed cheaper service for all five towns at 3.96 million, but the plan was cut to avoid reducing Garden City to Denver flights. Officials say US DOT will decide subsidies and service, with results expected in September after a transportation bill.
