Finstad working to get increased air service for Rochester

Minnesota U.S. 1st District Rep. Brad Finstad has sent a letter to the Secretary of the Department of Transportation (DOT), Sean Duffy, and the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Bryan Bedford, calling on the DOT and FAA to support United Airlines service between Rochester International Airport (RST) and Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) as soon as possible. 

Said Finstad in a press release: “By launching United Airlines flight service between Rochester and Chicago O’Hare, Rochester and its surrounding communities will be connected to 34 unique destination flights. This is not only important to the economic development of southern Minnesota but would also help improve health care access for those in our communities.”
