Williston`s Sloulin Field International Airport wants to add a fourth daily flight. Officials also want to improve the runway to handle not only higher traffic but eventually larger planes. Airport manager Rick Marburger says achieving those goals would improve service at the airport, which has seen more traffic with the oil boom in western North Dakota. The airport had four daily flights until about a year ago, when Great Lakes Airlines cut one flight. Marburger says the remaining three flights are running at full capacity. He says officials are talking with two air carriers about an additional flight.
