Flights Increased

There will be more flights out of International Falls this summer.

An $1.3 million agreement between Mesaba Airlines and the U.S. Department of Transportation will see the Delta-owned airline flying 14 flights per week in and out of Falls International Airport beginning in June.

U.S. Senator Al Franken, who helped secure the grant, says the money provides stability for the airport and bolsters the region’s commerce, economic development, and tourism.
