CHARLESTON WVa July 28 2013 West Virginia's largest airport is working to save money, so it is cutting guards at its gates.The Associated Press is reporting the airport's board approved a plan to cut its budget by 3 percent due to a drop in the number of passengers.
The drop is attributed to the loss of Airtran's Florida flight.
Instead of guards, the airport will use new cameras and microwave technology.
According to the AP, airport director, Rick Atkinson, says the technology will automatically dial the police and set off an alarm if there's an intrusion.
The AP reports officials said they're hoping to find another carrier to bring the Florida flight back to Yeager.
