Even if an airline announced tomorrow it would take anywhere from 60 to 120 days to get in our market. They have to schedule so far out. |
Independence Air worked really well here. They may have not succeeded nationally but we were in their top 10 cities and we were the largest city in their top 10 cities so our people supported it so well. |
Just because we had Independence in the market, we didn't stop looking for (another) low-fare carrier. |
We have met with other low-fare carriers, and will continue to do that to try to bring them to our market. |
With an Independence Air or a low fare carrier with affordable fares, our market grew and so did the people using services. So it means business when fares are affordable for every airline here. |
