ALPENA To say last year was a bumpy ride for the Alpena County Regional Airport may be an understatement.
After a strong start to the year and the opening of its new terminal, the COVID-19 pandemic brought business to a screeching halt for months.
Later months showed glimmers of hope as more people began to travel, and Airport Manager Steve Smigelski says he is hopeful the new year will be more in-line with years prior to 2020.
The airport recorded 6,427 paying passengers or enplanements last year, which, in a normal year, would make the airport ineligible for a $1 million subsidy from the federal government. The airport usually receives that funding if it eclipses 10,000 enplanements in a calendar year, which it does a majority of the time.
