Skywest Cj200 070324

WASHINGTON, D.C. (KVRR) — A new deal has been reached to keep SkyWest Airlines as the company offering flights out of Devils Lake and Jamestown.

Department of Transportation signed a three-year deal with SkyWest which is good through June 30, 2027.

As part of the Essential Air Service program, they will provide each community with 12 round trips per week to Denver International Airport.

SkyWest uses 50-seat Canadair Regional Jet 200 aircraft out of those two airports.

Sen. John Hoeven previously worked with the North Dakota delegation to prevent disruption in air service to the communities.

“This is great news for Jamestown and Devils Lake, as air service demand in North Dakota continues to grow, including in these areas,” said Hoeven.

“It’s vital that these communities and the surrounding areas have access to continued, reliable commercial air service in order to allow for economic growth and opportunities in the region and to meet the needs of the traveling public.”

“SkyWest has been a great partner to the Jamestown Region for commercial air service. We are very happy to solidify their partnership for three more years, and we look forward to setting new passenger boarding records,” said Katie Hemmer, Jamestown Regional Airport Director
