South Bend International Airport struggles to fly high as the nationwide worker shortage continues

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- South Bend airlines continue to cut flights as they struggle to hire enough staff.

South Bend flights are reportedly down 25 percent compared to last year but pale in comparison to the number of cancelations some larger airport hubs are enduring.

"The challenges that travelers are seeing across the country are not as horrible or as difficult here in South Bend. We still have some challenges," said airport CEO, Mike Daigle. "The airlines continue to have some difficulties with staffing. they all have plans to fix that and remedy that."

Daigle says more flights are expected to be added to South Bend but no official announcement has been made yet.
