Disappointing, that is what leadership in the City of Dryden are calling the decision by Bearskin Airlines to suspend flights at the Dryden Regional Airport, effective May 11th.

In a release the city says the loss of service will have profound impacts on residents, businesses, and essential services, as well as the community’s connectivity.

“The loss of scheduled air passenger service is indeed disheartening for our community. ” said Mayor Jack Harrison. “We understand the challenges faced by the airline industry, but we are committed to finding an alternative [air passenger service] to ensure the City of Dryden remains accessible and connected.”

However, officials are already working to fill the void created by the service suspension, with hopes to solicit passenger carriers which can meet the current needs.

This is a developing story and more details will be released as they become available.
