“For anybody that wants to stop in, rent a vehicle, get gas, visit town, or may need parking, for example, we have all that available to them through our FBO,” Marin says. A GATEWAY TO REGIONAL TOURISM Operating in a region that is often thought of as a tourist destination, passengers who land at Dodge City Regional can expect a warm welcome and an easy route to some of the tourist gems in the area. “We have a lot of people that fly in for the rodeo, which is one of the main attractions here,” Marin relays. “Back in 2020, we had the national rodeos here because they couldn’t have them in Las Vegas.” “People also fly in to see the renowned Boothill Museum, and some come in for hunting.” “Dodge City is a small town, and everything is close together.” “There are hotels and attractions within easy reach, and the Boothill Museum is set up like a frontier village with an old west street front and a saloon with reenactments running through the summer months,” he adds. Among some of the more legendary attractions, Dodge City is also home to the historic Dodge City Raceway, which is also a crowd-pleaser. THE AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN AHEAD Ensuring that passengers enjoy the very best aviation experience, Marin and his team have been busy at work with significant projects that will enhance the efficiency and overall comfort level of the airport. A top priority on the infrastructure project list was completed recently, and represented a complete overhaul of the terminal to provide for anticipated commercial and corporate passenger growth numbers. 89 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 13, ISSUE 02 DODGE CITY REGIONAL AIRPORT
