MFR Smashes Old Air Traveler Record

Wikimedia

We doubt ORD or PDX are feeling any pressure to keep up, but MFR is a busy place. 

The Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport picked up the pace in 2014. 

The year ended up setting a record for number of travelers, by a wide margin; 664,423 passengers in all used the airport. 

Airport Director Bern Case joins us to explain the factors driving the increase, including the end of commercial airline service to nearby Klamath Falls.
