Carl Millard, owner of Millardair, a charter airline, said in an interview that his business has been cut in half because of delays in getting a reservation.
The majority of his flights are parcel delivery on only several hours' notice.

"We're losing about $15,000 a day. We're not even covering the rent," Millard said, adding that other general aviation operators at the airport are incurring heavy losses.
