Additional Expansion in Air For Bishop

FLINT, MI-After a record year in terms of passengers carried, a new ticket counter area is among the expansions in the works at Bishop International Airport.

By Dan Heaton | Updated on December 30, 2004

FLINT, MI-Bishop International Airport is planning expansions that could double its annual passenger capacity. Bishop is on track to continue its 20%-plus growth for the third straight year in 2004, while the industry average is less than 6%.

In October, Bishop for the first time in its history served 1 million passengers in a single year. Officials project total traffic for 2004 to reachabout 1.17 million. With planned upgrades and more parking, the airport could eventually handle 2 million passengers, Airport Director James L. Rice II says.

In January, officials will open a new ticket counter area that makes room for three more carriers. The Airport Authority Board will also consider approval next month of a planned expansion of the luggage claim section.
