Rochester’s job growth is remarkable! 5,700 jobs added since July 2023 ?? #airserviceopportunity #flylocal #flocal #flyrst

How do we get more direct flights at RST? We Flocal! ?? Airports don't decide where they fly; that's up to the airlines, and the airlines decide based on a variety of metrics. A big one is 'load factor,' or how many seats are being filled on each plane on average. So the more you fly with us, the more we will fly for you. ? #FlyLocal #RST #Flocal #RochesterMN #FlyRST

What a gorgeous day ?? at The Chamber Champions League ?? event inviting fellow Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce members to #Flocal ??
