✈️ BIG NEWS FOR CLOVIS REGIONAL AIRPORT ✈️

The United States Department of Transportation has officially selected Denver Air Connection as the Essential Air Service provider for Clovis Regional Airport.

That means continued daily commercial air service connecting Clovis directly to BOTH:
βœ”οΈ Denver International Airport
βœ”οΈ Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport

These connections matter for our local economy, Cannon AFB, healthcare access, business travel, tourism, and families across eastern New Mexico and west Texas.

A City Commission-appointed task force carefully reviewed proposals and recommended Denver Air Connection, and the City Commission proudly supported that recommendation.

Now comes the IMPORTANT part: COMMUNITY SUPPORT.

If you want to keep and strengthen commercial air service in Clovis, use it when you travel. Every ticket purchased helps demonstrate the value and importance of our airport to the region.

This is a major asset for our community β€” let’s support it. ✈️
