Meridian, GTRA: Top 4 airports

MERIDIAN, Miss. - Meridian Regional Airport is having its best ridership year in nearly 10 years. With two flights a day to two hubs, MRA has the fourth highest number of passengers among the seven commercial airports across Mississippi. Over the first six months of 2018, MRA’s passenger numbers were “up a little better than 1 percent over the first six months of last year," says Tom Williams, president of Meridian Regional Airport, or about 120 passengers. “I think that's a tribute to the customer service that our great employees give in the terminal building, and to SkyWest's good relationship with American Airlines." During January through June, more than 19,000 passengers used MRA. The top three airports were Jackson, Gulfport, and the Golden Triangle Regional (GTRA) in Columbus. (Source: WTOK 07/27/18)
