Midland airport faces flight cuts as passenger numbers fall
Midland International may lose flights amid a 12 percent drop in departing passengers from the prior year. Airport director Marv Esterly cites national reductions of 6,600 flights since 2000 and warns westbound routes may be threatened when the Wright Amendment expires in 2014. He notes Southwest growth could boost northeast travel via Dallas Love Field, while American Eagle shifts to turboprops temporarily. The airport seeks to attract carriers with a Small Community Air Service Development Grant and plans to attend an aviation summit in October to drum up support.
