Thursday night at the Nebraska Aviation Symposium in Kearney the Nebraska Department of Aeronautics named the Central Nebraska Regional Airport its 2011 Airport of the Year.

This is the fourth time in six years the airport has received this recognition.

That award comes on the heels of a historic level of enplanements at the facility last month.

A record 5,067 passengers boarded flights in December, representing the highest number of monthly enplanements reported in the history of the airport.

Boarding totals for all of 2011 were also up 39% from 2010, with a total of just under 47,100 enplanements.
