Commercial Air Service For The Region Moves A Step Closer
Commercial air service at the Pikeville Pike County Regional Airport is now a little closer to reality. At a meeting Thursday afternoon, a presentation was made by Nathan Vallier of Locair from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The airport has continually made improvements to its facility, always with an eye on the day when commercial passenger and cargo service will be realized. The presentation by the Florida-based company was only the first of several meetings scheduled with the airport board. Following an August 11th. working session with the board, extensive market research will be the next step.
