While major airlines continue to nosedive into bankruptcy, the Dane County Regional Airport has steadily climbed to cruising altitude.
The airport just added another nonstop flight to a major city — Atlanta, the busiest airport in the world with 1,000 flights a day.
The airport on Madison’s North Side also has increased passengers and profits in recent years and soon will complete a $65 million terminal renovation.
That’s good news for business, UW-Madison and the local economy. It also justifies Dane County’s strong support for the airport that must continue.
