“I’m excited about the number of increased flights we’re going to see,” said McKellar-Sipes Director Steve Smith. “The (new) airplane flies higher and faster, and I’m also excited about the commitment this company has to making sure that the opportunities provided by this change in service is available to everyone…I don’t run the airline, but I’m very excited to see how this is going to unfold.”
Boutique Air will be bringing a PC-12 Pilatus plane on board, which is a single-engine turboprop passenger and cargo plane that will cut down on flight times for the airport’s St. Louis and Atlanta routes.

JACKSON, Tenn. After five months of a mask mandate, Madison County will let it expire.

The mask mandate had been in place since early November, after counties throughout West Tennessee saw a spike in the number of COVID-19 cases.
According to the news release, the reason for letting the mandate expire was the recent drop in cases.
