For the fifth year in a row Jamestown Regional Airport set a new record for annual paid passenger boardings with 12,865 for 2017.

Prior to 2016, the airport only received $150,000 from the FAA in entitlement funding. The 2017 paid passenger figure is up 15.6 percent from 2016 when 11,123 paid passengers were recorded.
