Hays Regional Airport says it recorded the most passenger boardings in its history in 2011.

City Manager Toby Dougherty says the nearly 11,000 passenger
boardings will qualify the airport for up to $1 million in federal
funding for improvements. The numbers were a 17.3 percent increase
from 2010.

Dougherty attributed the increase to an aggressive marketing
campaign and an improving economy.

The Hays Daily News reports that Dougherty says complaints about
Great Lakes Airlines customer service had declined, thanks to a new
manager for the regional air service provider.

He says runway reconstruction likely will begin late spring or
early summer. The airport will remain open during the
reconstruction.
