AIR SERVICE BIDS

AIR SERVICE IN AND OUT OF SIOUX GATEWAY AIRPORT WILL CONTINUE FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE.

TWO AIRLINES HAVE SUBMITTED BIDS TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO FLY OUT OF SIOUX CITY.

AIRPORT DIRECTOR KURT MILLER SAYS SKY WEST WOULD PROVIDE DELTA AIRLINES SERVICE TWICE DAILY TO MINNEAPOLIS.

ANOTHER AIRLINE, AMERICAN EAGLE, WOULD FLY TWICE A DAY TO CHICAGO:

UNDER THE ESSENTIAL AIR SERVICE ACT, THE D-O-T WILL SELECT ONE OF THE AIRLINES TO REPLACE DELTA FOR A TWO YEAR PERIOD.

MILLER SAYS THE CITY WILL STUDY THE PROPOSALS AND HAS 30 DAYS TO INFORM THE D-O-T OF THEIR PREFERENCE.
