G. Reports to Committee  
Activity Report  
Director Jones reported fortunately or unfortunately our numbers are holding steady. Director Jones  
stated if you compare October 2020 to October 2021 we had a 178% change because 2020 numbers were  
so low. A more accurate way to measure the recovery is using 2019 pre-pandemic levels numbers as the  
base. That being said, the hope is that 2021 ends at 60-70% of 2019 year end numbers. We are seeing the  
return of seasonal flights including a couple new destinations.
