Dear Ms. Chapman,

It is my understanding that the Greenville Regional Airport has applied for a Department of

Transportation Small Community Air Service Development (SCASD)Grant to be used for marketing and

promotional funds. 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 DOT program designed to assist rural cities with just this type of air service

challenge. Please consider approving the Greenville Mid-Delta Airport Grant request.

incerely,

Jannis Williams

Executive Director

Delta Council, a regional economic development organization, believes

Dear Ms:Chapman,

The Greenville Regional Airport has applied fora Oepartmentof Transporta\ion Small Community Air

Service Development (SCASD)Grant The Grant is for marketing and promotional funds, .

Delta Air Lines left our market last September after having served our market for decades. The new

replacement service, by Sliver 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 Delta to Silver. I believe part of

the problem is a lack of marketing for the new service, Good quality local air service is critical to our

10ca.1economy and I believe that the new service needs more promotion.

The SCASDprogram Is a DOTprogram that is supposed to help rural cities with jllst this type otair

service challenge. I urge the Department to approve the Greenville Mid.Delta Airport Grant request

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 of expanded

marketing and promotion of our local air service. I urge 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.

I believe that part of the 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 of a familiar airline name (Delta or Northwest) and a familiar 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 of air service issue. I

urge the Department of Transportation to give the Greenville SCASDgrant application favorable

consideration. Thank you in advance for your consideration of our Grant application.
