Commercial air service is returning to Santa Fe.officials were at the Santa Fe airport to announce American Eagle is offering daily, direct flights between the city and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
The airline also will start offering daily flights to Los Angeles in November. The governor's office said that is something many in the film industry had been asking for.
Richardson said commercial air service is key to the economic development of the area and to growing New Mexico's tourism and film industries.
Santa Fe has been without commercial air service since January 2008 and without larger commercial jet service for decades. Federal officials cleared the airport for use by regional jets earlier this year.
