High mark for GTRA

The Columbus, Miss.-based Golden Triangle Regional Airport has had more passengers in the month of May than any other month in the last decade. About 3,974 passengers boarded flights at GTRA – a 2.5 percent increase from May 2014. Most of the flights that month were at least 90 percent full. The airport’s executive director credits the increase to business traffic and Mississippi State University, plus more people are flying from GTRA from western Alabama and Tupelo.
