Airport struggles test DuBois area aviation plans
DuBois Regional Airport faces financial strain as operating costs rise and revenue fall. Authority officials say no closure, emphasize essential staff for safety and safety compliance. Positive signs include rising passenger numbers May through July and Gulfstream’s on time rate. A maintenance facility deal could add seven to ten new local jobs and more flights. The authority approved a 2009 budget of 628,509 dollars in income and 622,395 dollars in expenses and accepted a liability package from Smail Insurance. The board discussed isolated holding space for contraband suspects but TSA and law enforcement would not fund such a room. Next meeting set for Sept. 25.
