Study Looks At State's Largest Three Airports
KENTUCKY...
A new state-sponsored study examines Kentucky's three largest airports and possible incentives that could give the struggling facilities an economic boost.
The study by the state Cabinet for Economic Development suggests ways to boost the three airports in northern Kentucky, Louisville and Lexington.
The Kentucky Enquirer reports that all three have lost passengers over the past several years, and the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky airport has lost more than two-thirds of its flights due to downsizing by Delta Airlines.
The study outlines the economic development incentives the state currently offers, examines incentives in other states, and analyzes three new incentives proposed by the three airports.
