WATERTOWN, S.D.–The year is off to a slow start at Watertown Regional Airport.

Airport Manager Rob Cyrus says there were just 721 passenger boardings on Denver Air Connection flights in January.

By comparison, the weakest month for passenger boardings last year was in February, with 913.

Denver Air Connection provides non-stop jet service to Denver and Chicago.

Their contract to serve Watertown expires on June 30th, but they’ve submitted a bid to continue that for another two years.
