Sep 14, 2007 — Montana-based Big-Sky Airlines has secured the federal subsidy to provide commercial air service at the Adirondack Regional Airport in Lake Clear and Plattsburgh International Airport. The U.S. Department of Transportation awarded Big Sky, the only company to submit a proposal, a $2.4 million annual subsidy on Thursday. Big Sky already flies out of the airports in Watertown, Ogdensburg and Massena. As Chris Knight reports, local officials hope their residents will embrace the new service.
