If your traveling to the west coast this is great. However since they won’t be offering service to Chicago and Denver it makes competing with delta difficult.

“Grand Forks has an average of 3,356 weekly seats available, compared to 5,732 in Bismarck and 12,701 in Bozeman, Mont., a smaller city. ”
Get real. Comparing Grand Forks to Bozeman? Bozeman is a REAL “destination city”, not a “Mayor Brown proclaimed” destination city.

Bismarck has actual economic activity; and is the nearest/largest airport for the entire west end of the state. Grand Forks has underpaid jobs, low-income housing, and is waiting to cash in on the oil boom but most likely won’t.

Actually, Minot is the largest airport as far as boardings go, on the West side of the State with 18,366 passengers in 2012.

There are many Canadians that fly in/out of GFK. If the Canadians did not use GFK, there would be alot less boardings.
