That could mean more jet service into Durango and perhaps more total capacity as well. Efforts to attract other airlines also continue. Any of these ideas could help. More jets, for example, might benefit tourism. A lot of people shy away from planes with propellers and large groups like to stay together.
Larger planes have lower per-seat costs.
Attracting more airlines is problematic, too. American s winter service to Dallas, remember, is directly subsidized by local businesses. Durango is becoming a regional airport. One day, perhaps soon, it will probably be the only commercially served airport in the Four Corners. That alone should help improve service.
