Hicks/Kalispell City Airport I am a local pilot. When we first moved to Kalispell 10 years ago,
Kalispell City Airport was part of my life. I would like to encourage
you to keep this airport open. If you close it, you will lose more
jobs. In this economy, we need all the jobs we have.
I am a female pilot. The aviation community is made up of good, very
friendly, moral people. This is a good industry for our area. It puts
good attitudes into students taking lessons: it keeps them out of
trouble and gives them a chance to see if they want to make flying their
career.
Glacier gets so busy sometimes that Kalispell City is a good
alternate place to fly into. The restaurants and motels near Kalispell
City are very convenient. Glacier has neither a restaurant (outside the
airport) or a motel nearby. Only a few of the airports I have flown
into in MT, OR, AZ, ID, AK, UT, WA, and others have airports with
restaurants AND motels on site. This makes Kalispell City Airport
unique. This helps bring in revenue for businesses.
Please keep Kalispell City Airport open.
