Air Service Plan Put Forward

An early morning departure and an evening return flight to Falls International Airport have been included in a new proposal from Mesaba Airlines.

The new proposal comes after Mesaba’s initial offer for air passenger service was rejected by the U-S Department of Transportation in October.

City and airport officials had expressed concerns with its scheduled that offered flights during the mid-afternoon.

Mesaba, which was acquired by Delta as part of its merger with Northwest Airlines, was the only carrier to submit a proposal for the Falls airport.
