Dubois Airport 10:42 pm
When the pandemic first started last year in April, the DuBois Regional Airport’s numbers were at an all time low, only flying 21 passengers.
But according to officials, those numbers are starting to rise.
“Then we saw numbers creep up back up just a bit to close to 200 and that’s kind of where we rode out the storm through really March of this year,” said Robert Shaffer, DuBois Regional Airport Manager.
In April of this year, Robert Shaffer said they’ve flown 290 airplane passengers.
Those numbers increased to 379 passengers for the month of May.
“I anticipate that June is going to be substantially higher than that. I’m going to guess close to 450 or so,” he said.

Twelve Pennsylvania airports will receive a portion of $10 million in state grants from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Gov. Tom Wolf’s office announced Wednesday.
“Aviation plays a vital role in keeping our state’s economy moving,” Wolf said. “These investments will help Pennsylvania’s airports operate safely, expand to meet current demands, and sustain growth well into the future.”
South Middleton Township, in Cumberland County, is slated to receive $3 million to acquire Carlisle Airport. The acquisition of the privately-owned airport will “help to preserve the future” of the facility “within the jurisdiction as a public-use general aviation airport,” Wolf’s office said.
