In 2008, enplanements — people boarding planes at the airport — dropped 12 percent compared to 2007. There were 27,594 enplanements in 2008, and 31,141 in 2007. Carberry noted that 7BE7DJ>7J97D=;JOEK SkyWest dropped one of its five daily flights last spring. Also, aviation’s overall down- ward trend is tied to the poor economy, he said. EKJE<:;8J<7IJ;H$ “I think everybody’s sort of weathering this economic downturn,” Carberry said, noting that the trend is simi- IeoekYWdjWa[b_\[Wb_jjb[ibem[h$IeoekYWdjWa[b_\[Wb_jjb[ibem[h$ lar to what other airports are going through. Carberry didn’t say when airport usage might increase, but said that the airport will see more users when the economy surges. “As we see the general economy improve, we’ll see an improvement,” Carberry said. At Boise Airport, passenger enplanements also dropped in 2008. That airport experi- enced a 5 percent drop com- pared to 2007, Patti Miller, a spokeswoman for the Boise Airport said in an e-mail. Fuel usage at the Twin Falls airport went down in 2008 compared to 2007. In 2008, 951,383 gallons were used, while 1.1 million gallons were used in 2007. That’s still higher than in 2004, when fuel usage was 934,446 gal- lons. Those figures include fuel for jet flights and smaller, private airplane flights. Carberry said he hopes to see more general aviation and young people becoming interested in the airport. In other business, Carberry said he appreciated the recent addition of two full-time airport security P?EDI87DAP?EDI8H R7DA officers.
