Gov. Walker declares July 29th-Aug. 2nd Aviation Week
LA CROSSE, WI — It’s take off time for Wisconsin’s Aviation Industry.
Governor Scott Walker declared it Aviation Week. It’s an effort to highlight the industry in the state.
The Department of Transportation says nearly five and a half million people boarded a commercial flight last year.
Local officials say business is down about 10% this year, but having a local airport offers a lot to the community.

To join the celebration, the airport is putting on an Aviation Day on August 11th.
