The Mayors of Bend and Redmond held their virtual news conference yesterday. Redmond Airport Director Zach Bass also attended and was asked about Memorial Day weekend. He says they had about 700 passengers compared to 3-thousand passengers a day last Memorial Day. Bass noted that the number of flights has increased from a low of 4 a day to the current 13 outgoing flights a day. Bass says it may take the airline industry 3 years to recover from the pandemic.
