Sioux Falls, SD (KELO-AM) Sioux Falls Regional Airport expects to break the all-time monthly boarding record, in large part because of the big national basketball tournaments that came to town.
The current all-time monthly record was set last March with over 44,000 boardings.
Airport Manager Dan Letellier expects this month to go over 45,000, shattering the old record. He says that not only did the NCAA and teams charter flights into Joe Foss Field, but all those fans from all over also flew in to Sioux Falls.
March is historically the busiest month at the airport, but March Madness helped make it even busier.
Division II Women's basketball was at the Sanford Pentagon and a Division I Women's Regional was at the Sanford PREMIER Center.
