<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 2, 2008) A new commuter airline is getting ready to start direct flights from Massena, Ogdensburg and Watertown to Albany. The three North Country airports are cleaning up hangars, ticket counters and runways in preparation for Cape Air&apos;s service starting September 16. In Watertown, work crews are racing to finish an $800,000 remodel of the passenger terminal. It&apos;s a big investment in an industry that relies on federal subsidies to serve the region. But airport administrators say they expect this airline to succeed where others failed. Jonathan Brown reports.

<description><![CDATA[ (May 9, 2008) Three months after it began service at the Adirondack Regional Airport and the Plattsburgh International Airport, Cape Air was formally welcomed to the North Country on Thursday during separate ribbon cutting ceremonies at the two facilities.  Local officials say they&apos;re optimistic that Cape Air will be able to restore the trust of the flying public, which was hurt by the collapse of the airports’ previous carrier, Big Sky airlines.  Chris Knight reports. [<strong><a href="http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/11397/20080509/locals-welcome-cape-air">full story</a></strong>]]]></description>

<title>More Canadians cross border for cheap airfare</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/9087/20070420/more-canadians-cross-border-for-cheap-airfare</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 20, 2007) Canadians are crossing the border in growing numbers to fly out of U.S airports. Gary DeYoung says they’re drawn by cheaper airfares. He’s director of the Thousand Islands International Tourism Council. And he wants the North Country’s new air service to Boston from Massena, Ogdensburg and Watertown to tap into this growing market. It could help them meet the critical goal of 10,000 passengers. This would earn the airports an additional million dollars from the federal government, as part of the subsidy that brought Big Sky Airlines to the region. DeYoung talked to Jonathan Brown.

<title>Coming soon: direct flights to Boston</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 27, 2006) North Country residents will soon be able to fly directly to Boston. Montana-based Big Sky Airlines won a federal subsidy to fly 19-seat aircraft from Watertown, Ogdensburg and Massena airports. This may signal the end of service from the same airports on Mesa Airlines – which has used the federal subsidy to fly passengers to Pittsburgh. Jonathan Brown has more.
