If humboldt ever really wants a successful airport, prices have to go down. At $200-400 guessing one-way vs round trip) the folks using the airlines are mostly either business people or very well off. From personal experience I could say that most people would rather drive, pay for gas, and spend the extra time than cough up that kind of cash to fly. Until airline travel costs are affordable, a vibrant airline economy will continue to be subsidized in humboldt county. And only those with govt or corporate jobs or the wealthy will be able to take advantage of the service. The rest of us will continue driving.
