I support their efforts. Delta Air Lines left our market in September 2012 after many years of service. The new replacement service, Silver Airways, does not have any local brand identity or follOWing. The Grant funding would be used to promote the new service to Atlanta. Our local airport has seen a significant loss of traffic since the shift from Deita to Silver. It is my belief that part of the problem is a lack of marketing for the new service. Good quality local air service is critical to our local economy and the new service needs more promotion. The SCASDprogram is a DOTprogram designed to assist rural cities with just this type of air service challenge. Pleaseconsider approving the Greenville Mid-Delta Airport Grant request. incerely,
JannisWilliams Executive Director

johnoox@grrenvillermorg July 30,2013 Ms.Brooke Chapman, Associate Director Small Community Air Service Development Program U.S.Department ofTransportation 8th Floor, Room W86-307 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington D.C.20590 Reference: Docket DOT-OST-2013-0120 Dear Ms.Chapman, The Greenville Regional Airport has submitted a proposal for aSmall Community Air Service Development (SCA5D) Grant. The proposal calls for Grant funding for the purpose ofexpanded marketing and promotion ofour local air service. Iurge the Department to approve this modest grant request. Delta Air Lines (or its merger partner Northwest) have served our city for decades with flights to Memphis. Suddenly last September Delta left and our new air service, Silver Airways to Atlanta, has struggled to gain traffic. This concerns me greatly. Local air service is essential to our economic well-being and our ability to retain existing business and industry and recruit new business and industry. Ibelieve that part ofthe problem in this service transition is that while Delta is a household name in Mississippi, and Silver Airways is not. Furthermore, our service switched from Memphis, that everyone was familiar with, to Atlanta. Now having service to Atlanta-is great but we cannot replace decades ofa familiar airline name (Delta or Northwest) and afamiliar destination (Memphis) overnight and expect our air travelers to make that significant shift. We need an infusion of marketing and promotional effort to get the word out on our new service to Atlanta and on our new carrier. The SCASDprogram was designed by Congress to address precisely this type ofair service issue. I urge the Department ofTransportation to give the Greenville SCASDgrant application favorable consideration. Thank you in advance for your consideration ofour Grant application. Sincerely,
