Essential Travelers Take Advantage of Cheaper Fares

Essential Travelers Take Advantage of Cheaper Fares

Here at home.

Macleod hageman joins us live tonight from evansville regional airport with an update on tr?state travel.

Mac?

Kind of a sad story tonight.

Evansville regional airport unveiled this nice, updated facility?

And months later?

The coronavirus hit?

Affecting travel.

That's certainly the case here at home and across the world.

Airports just like evansville regional are taking extra precautions to keep passengers safe?

But many people aren't flying as much.

Evansville regional airport experienced growth last year?

But they're now seeing about five to ten percent of passenger traffic?

And it's safe to say covi?19 is the culprit.

I caught up with a passenger?

Who flies several times a month for work.

Kristian hall telling me he's just happy evansville's airport is still open?

And they've been extremely accommodatin g.

"it's pretty much dead if you look outside.

When you look outside, usually there are cars.

It's usually packed out here.

There's really nothing out here at all.

When i fly through chicago o'hare, it's a whole new precaution, and everything like that with this coronavirus.

It's just really crazy."

Hall*even telling me he feels like these smaller airports are doing a better job?

Keeping passengers safe because they're so clean.

He says airlines are also spreading out passengers on planes?

And making sure everyone has hand sanitizer once they're seated.

Another thing to note?

He says ticket prices are quite a bit cheaper now?

But before booking?

He had to confirm he's an essential worker.
