Delta Airlines is adding additional flights this summer at Falls International Airport.
Beginning June 10, Delta will add a 7 a.m. flight out of the Falls and an 8:30 p.m. return from Minneapolis-St. Paul.
The move restores a schedule the Falls Airport Commission had requested since Delta went to just afternoon slights last September.
The schedule will return to two flights in September, but the commission is hoping Delta will maintain the early morning and late evening flight.

Atikokan Rejects Mail-In Balloting
Voters in Atikokan won't be allowed to mail-in their ballots in this falls municipal and school board elections.
Township council voted against the idea of mail-in ballots at their meeting this week.
Mayor Dennis Brown was among those who saw no good reason to allow them.
"One of the purposes of the mail-in ballots is to try and get more participation at voting time," says Brown, "but in Atikokan that hasn't really been a problem. In the last four elections the voter turnout has been well over 50 per cent."
Brown says the cost of providing mail-in ballots would have also increased the cost of holding the election.
