Horrible, understaffed airport. Airport is about 45 degrees during winter, secured area has an empty vending machine and no bathroom. Unifi should lose their contract. Same 3 people do all the work(bags, counter, deicing, Marshalling). Plane wouldn’t started due to improper storage during winter weather, plane was boarded then de-boarded due to frozen fan blades which required maintenance to come from across the state, reboarded again only sit and de ice for an hour. Then be told the de icing truck is broke. Numerous passengers missed connections, and even their rebooked connections. An all around disaster for an airport that handles two flights a day. Would highly recommend driving to a different one.
