Of the eight commercial airports in the state, seven have seen more passengers boarding planes over the previous year. The two largest operations, Fargo's Hector International Airport and the Bismarck Municipal Airport, have experienced greater than 10% growth, according to data from the state's Aeronautics Commission.
Williston experienced the largest annual growth in air travel with 20% more boardings over the past year. The city closed the more than 70-year-old Sloulin Field International Airport on Oct. 10 and opened the new Williston Basin International Airport to handle the greater demand.Peak demand? What peak demand? Recently pundits have switched from "peak oil" to "peak demand." Whatever. From twitter today: China's Saudi crude oil imports rose 76% in October due to increasing demand. Whatever.
Trade update: last night, on twitter -- "China, US have reached broad consensus on Phase 1 trade deal, including the removal of tariffs but countries disagree on how far tariffs should be rolled back.
