Bright, K/city airport
To the Kalispell City Council,
I have just heard of the effort underway to eliminate the city airport.
I certainly would like to express my disagreement with this move. Over
the course of the last 40 some years I have utilized the city airport in
many ways. This has been my connection to the Bob Marshall, local
rivers, business and vacation throughout the region. It is the ability
to provide this type of service to my company that keeps us using
Kalispell itself as a base. We are located in Bozeman and do extensive
travel to Kalispell and that region. In my mind, your city airport and
the tools it offers us as opposed to larger airports and cities is
unique to say the least. I can honestly say that there would be little,
if any reason for us to fly in or out of your area if the city airport
is not available. The impact to the local economy should be more than
enough to give you direction. My employees and I use the hotels and
restaurants around the airport extensively whenever we fly into the city
airport. Please take this into consideration when trying to evaluate the
benefit this entity brings not only to Kalispell but your entire region.
Thank you.
