SIOUX GATEWAY AIRPORT WILL LIKELY HAVE NEW AIR SERVICE TO CHICAGO BEGINNING EARLY NEXT YEAR.
THE AIRPORT BOARD UNANIMOUSLY VOTED TO RECCOMEND THAT AMERICAN EAGLE AIRLINES BECOME SIOUX CITY'S NEW AIRLINE REPLACING DELTA'S MINNEAPOLIS ROUTE WITH TWO DAILY FLIGHTS TO CHICAGO.
THE CHANGE TO AMERICAN EAGLE WAS CAUSED BY DELTA THREATENING TO PULL OUT OF SIOUX CITY WITHOUT A FEDERAL SUBSIDY.
AIRPORT BOARD PRESIDENT DAN KAPLAN SAYS THAT LACK OF COMMITMENT FROM DELTA WAS A FACTOR IN CHANGING AIR CARRIERS:
AIRPORT BOARD MEMBERS WERE IMPRESSED WITH AMERICAN'S OFFER WHICH INCLUDED A PROMISE TO MARKET THE CITY AS A DESTINATION AND CONSIDER ADDING A SOUTHERN ROUTE TO DALLAS IF THE CHICAGO FLIGHTS ARE SUCCESSFUL.
THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION WILL SOON ACT UPON THE RECCOMENDATION TO PROVIDE A TWO YEAR FEDERAL SUBSIDY FOR AMERICAN EAGLE.
