GTRA only regional airport in Mississippi to see passenger increases

The Golden Triangle Regional Airport (GTRA) at Columbus, Miss., was at one of its lowest points in 2006, the current executive director says, when the commercial air carrier Northwest Airlines pulled its three flights a day. It was a common tale of diminishing profits. But, today, GTRA is the only regional airport in the Magnolia State to see an increase in passengers in 2012. Source: The Associated Press, March 10, 2013.
