It's a popular destination in AZ for boaters (not too much boating in PHX and TUS..hehe). I don't know how Great Lakes is going to feel about it though...they fly nonstop from PHX.

So does this mean Prescott will now have 12 flights a day?!? They currently have the 6 that stop going to and from Kingman. Are they discontinuing those and flying Kingman non-stop or will there really be 12 flights in and out of PRC? I can't believe that Prescott can support or add that many passengers to that many flights. Anyone have any info on this? Maybe PRC is doing better and can use the additional flights. Lets hope so.
