It's a problem Gabe Monzo wanted for some time and, now that it's here, he has landed a solution.
With June's passenger departure totals rising to 1,349 under Northwest Airlines at Arnold Palmer Regional Airport, the Unity facility turned passengers away on a number of outgoing flights because its 34-seat Saab aircraft were filled, said Monzo, the airport's manager.
"When it comes to air service, having too many passengers is admittedly not the worst problem you can face, but we do understand that it's a major problem for the passenger who gets bumped from a flight," Monzo said Tuesday during a meeting of the Westmoreland County Airport Authority board.
In anticipation of such a scenario, the authority brokered a deal early last month to connect passengers denied boarding at Arnold Palmer Regional to available Northwest Airlines flights scheduled the same day at Pittsburgh International Airport in Allegheny County.
