PIERRE — Now that the U-S Department of Transportation has officially awarded Pierre’s next two-year Essential Air Service contract to Denver Air Connection, the hard work can begin of trying to figure out how to set up two-hub airline service to Denver and Minneapolis/St. Paul. Denver Air Director of Business Development Jon Coleman says Denver Air and Pierre will look at all the figures…
Coleman says he’s not concerned about finding gate space in Minneapolis…
Denver Air has interline agreements with United and American Airlines, but not with Delta Airlines, which Minneapolis is a primary hub for Delta. Coleman says any talk of an interline agreement between the two is just that…talk…
No interline agreement means passengers looking to connect with other flights in Minnesota on Delta would need to exit secured areas to retrieve luggage then then go back through security to get to their connecting flight.
