DEVILS LAKE — Devils Lake Regional Airport has continued its success after expansion projects brought an increase to passenger traffic in recent months. Manager Dominic Eritano has seen first hand what proper amenities, paired with marketing, have brought the airport. Since seeing rising numbers in early 2026, the airport has also seen record numbers in September and October. Boardings reached 812 in September and 1,391 in October, surpassing records that were just broken in 2025. Since 2023, average monthly passenger numbers in Devils Lake grew from 674 a year to 882 in 2025. The maximum number of monthly passengers jumped from 721 in 2022 to over 1,200 in 2025. “The numbers this year have been really good. Every month we hit a new record, even in October when we hit a new record all-time high,” Eritano said.

My name is Fr. Martin Kilonzo, ALCP/OSS. I am a Roman Catholic priest and a member of the Apostolic Life Community of Priests in Opus Spiritus Sancti (ALCP/OSS). Originally from Kenya, East Africa, I currently serve as parochial vicar at St. Joseph’s Church in Devils Lake, N.D. My journey has been a remarkable experience of faith, formation, missionary service, and trust in God’s providence. I was born in 1978 in Kilenge, a small village in Makueni County, southeastern Kenya, where I attended elementary school. I later joined Pope Paul VI Minor Seminary in the Diocese of Machakos, my home diocese, where I received a high school education and spiritual formation that helped prepare me for the priesthood. After four years at the minor seminary, I pursued three years of philosophical studies at the Spiritan Missionary Seminary in Arusha, Tanzania, followed by four years of theological studies at Jordan University College in Morogoro, Tanzania.
