Logan airport seeks commercial flights
Why not, say local airport officials, who are asking Frontier Airlines to bring commercial flights to northern Utah.
"This will bring business into the area," said Rich Stehmeier, manager of the Logan/Cache Airport. "It'll allow for tourism to come in here, and the economic impact ... will be phenomenal."
In September, Frontier announced plans to add 10 planes for flights to 18 destinations in the Rocky Mountains region.
Logan, 80 miles north of Salt Lake City, wasn't on the list. But Frontier has said it will consider a proposal from the airport, Stehmeier said.
Frontier is looking for additional routes into Denver, where the company is based, he said. Logan officials have until Jan. 15 to submit a proposal with unemployment rates, average wages and growth.
"We're trying to show them that there is a very diverse economic base in our community and because of that, it's very stable," said Sandy Emile, chief executive of the Cache Chamber of Commerce. "We will try to make them aware of how great the need is in our community."
Frontier is expected to announce routes in June and launch a new regional carrier, Lynx Airlines, in July.
Stehmeier said he has received more than 20 phone calls from people wanting to fly from Logan. The Cache Valley Regional Council will also submit a letter of support.
"It would be a huge benefit to have commercial service out of Cache Valley so people wouldn't have to drive to Salt Lake," said Craig Peterson, council chairman.
