GRAND FORKS — Members of the city’s Air Service Task Force are still moving forward with plans to bring back connections to Denver and add at least one more daily flight between Grand Forks and Minneapolis, with more meetings scheduled for the coming weeks.
Delta currently offers three daily flights between Grand Forks and Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, with additional flights to places like Las Vegas and Phoenix offered through Allegiant.
ADVERTISEMENTSeveral businesses throughout Grand Forks and the surrounding region have pledged funds to help support the effort as well, totaling $500,000.
Feland also said he believes new Delta flights to Minneapolis could happen sooner than a Denver connection, since the airline already has flights set up through Grand Forks.
Bochenski also acknowledged the role the city and task force have played in these discussions, as the Grand Forks Regional Airport Authority would typically be the driving force behind airport changes like this.
