Airline says changes will improve Riverton service

Great Lakes Airlines chief executive officer Chuck Howell says the airline is working to improve service at Riverton Regional Airport. Addressing local airport board members last week, Howell says airplane shortages, shifting routes and weather have caused service problems at Riverton over the last couple of years. Howell says that the airline is making changes. For instance, the early morning flight will no longer be shared with passengers from Worland Municipal Airport. Instead, the plane will be filled with passengers departing from Riverton, and the plane and crew will spend the night in Riverton. In addition, the noon departure flight will be upgraded to the 30-passenger aircraft as opposed to the 19-passenger plane that had been serving that departure.
