Tunica is growing - “July was a record month for us,” said Nash. “With 6,075 passengers in July and about 7,000 in August, which is again a new record for us at the airport. We are really excited that both the casino properties with their continuing charter flights and with the non-gaming flights coming in, that it is just growing and picking up.”

The increases came as somewhat of a surprise to officials, according to Nash.

“It is good to see. With the high gas prices and fuel costs we were a little afraid that things might actually take a nose dive, but what we have seen is actually some growth, so we are tickled about it, of course.”

“Hopefully some of the other casino properties may start adding more flights and as users come here and use this airport as a regional base, that we can become an alternate or alternative location to the Memphis Metropolitan area. That is a good thing,” Nash said.
