The Vernal Regional Airport is thanking the community for their continued support as they near their goal of 10,000 departing passengers in 2018. As of Tuesday, the count was at 9,676 and if they reach the goal, they become eligible for a million dollar federal grant and an upgrade to a primary airport. “We are still working towards our goal,” shares airport manager Doug Brown. “The preliminary numbers show that we still need several hundred people to fly. We are hoping people will utilize the air service for their holiday travel. We ask that travelers plan ahead for weather and road conditions. We will do everything in our powers to keep the runway safe and clean for operations.” The Airport thanks the community for the support and encourage all to find ways that the airport can benefit their lives.
