Also, Dickten announced that April enplanements on Allegiant Air were up to 2,080, up from last year. He said Allegiant Air will not take a break during the fall months this year like they have done the past three years, and will offer service to Orlando year-round for the first time since coming to the airport in 2006. This is great news for the airport.
The hire of Daniel Dickten by the Western Reserve Port Authority appears to be a solid one. He has come in with a plan and is really working hard at bringing in new airlines, as well as an aircraft maintenance provider that he previously had dealt with in his previous job. I stopped over to the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport website and noticed an airline survey that Dickten will be able to use in his negotiations. Please take the survey here: Take the Youngstown Business Travel Survey to help improve air service in the region.

New Youngstown Warren Regional Airport Director Daniel Dickten is off to a fast start, announcing at the Western Reserve Port Authority Meeting yesterday that there is a carrier currently serving Cincinnati interested in serving Youngstown, and that he will be meeting with representatives of Trans State (to Chicago), Sprit (to Ft. Lauderdale), and Gulfstream International (to Cleveland) Airlines in June. The airline currently serving Cincinnati wants to fly their Dornier 328 30-seat jets to Detroit four times per week, although they are requesting the FAA to permit daily service to and from Youngstown to Detroit. Once I figure out what carrier this actually is, I will let you know.Also, Dickten announced that April enplanements on Allegiant Air were up to 2,080, up from last year.

Mr Dickten sounds like the kind of AD you need. I hope you are able to land ALL of the possible air service mentioned in the article. I also did not realize YNG had a Air Force Reserve Base. Rockford and Youngstown have two of the most underutilized yet greatest potential airports in the country.

I echo the previous post and hope YNG is successful on many fronts in capturing new carriers.
I wish you great success as Airport Director Mr. Dickten.

|64.12.117.xxx |2010-06-12 15:09:44 KYNGTownI see that WFMJ reported yesterday that Mr. Dickten was at a conference in San Diego and met with the four potential airline carriers. According to the report, the meeting went well and they asked for additional information.
Keep up the momentum Mr. Dickten and good luck! We anxiously await good news on new carriers committed to YNG.
