SUPPORT LETTER FOR LOCAL BUSINESS 

The Honorable Ray LaHood 

Secretary 

United States Department of Transportation 

1200 New Jersey Ave. SE 

Washingtoii D.C. 

Dear Secretary LaHood: 

This letter is sent to you to indicate my support of the appUcation of Ventura 

County/Oxnard Airport for a grant in the 2010 Small Community Air Sewice 

Development Program. The grant requested is $520,000 with a local contribution and 

ticket purchase program of $4800 00 as an incentive for new air service at Oxnard 

Airport. 

The Oxnard Airport has had continuous passenger air sei-vice since 1946 and, 

unfortunately, United Express terminated its scheduled air service on June S^** of this 

year leaving Oxnard Airport with no air seivice. The loss of air service has a significant 

impact On our business. Our only option is to now drive to either Bxirbank Airport or Los 

Angeles International Airport, The drive on the freeways from Ventura County is long 

and very congested. It can easily take over two hours to get to either airport. 

I u^^derstand that Ventura Coxinty Department of Airports management has had meeting 

with Horizon Air about providing nonstop service to San Jose with flights continuing on 

to its markets in the Pacific Northwest. We are in support of this type of air service and 

will be an important link to markets in the north and connections to other areas. We 

believe that if Horizon Air is successful at Oxnard Airport, Horizon will add more flights 

to other markets or other airlines will come to our airport with nonstop service to other 

regional hub airports. 

Om* community needs air service at Oxnard Airport and this will be a good start. I 

strongly support the application of Veixtura County/Oxnard Airport for a grant under this 

program and will sxipport the new air service. 

Sincerely yours.

Subject: Docket OST-2009-0149 

Dear Secretary LaHood: 

I have recently learned that the County of Ventura, California has applied to the DOT for a Small 

Community Air Service Development Program grant. 1 am writing to you in support of their application. 

Embry Riddle Aeronautical University is integrated in Ventura County for years working intensively with 

students in the Aeronautical field. 

Beside the fact that we do a great deal of business outside of the Southern California area, and my 

associates and I travel frequently in connection with our activities, as an Aeronautical University we are 

very much involved into the development of air traffic. 

We really would appreciate your support to receive a Small Community Air Service Development 

Program grant. 

We feel that airline service will benefit many people and conmiunities within Ventura County. Past 

studies have shown catchment areas of over 500,000 citizens yet only 30,000 members of the community 

elect to use the airport due to the high airfares and limited flight options. Because of increased freeway 

congestion, it sometimes can take as long as 2.5 hours to travel to an airport such as LAX or Bob Hope 

Airport where airfares are reasonable and there are ample flight and schedule options. 

Please help us improve and expand airline service by awarding a Small Conmiunity Air Service 

Development Program grant to Ventura County. 

Sincerely, 

X)A^

This letter is sent to you to indicate our support of the application of Ventura 

County/Oxnard Airport for a grant in the 2010 Small Community Air Sen/ice 

Development Program as an incentive for new air sen/ice at Oxnard Airport. 

The Oxnard Airport has provided passenger air sen/ice since 1946 and, until United 

Express terminated its scheduled air service on June 8'" of this year. The loss of air 

service has a significant impact on Ventura County Tourism and Business Travel. 

Traveler's only option is to now drive to/from either Burbank Airport or Los Angeles 

International Airport. The drive on the freeways from Ventura County is long and often 

congested. It can easily take over two hours to get to/from either airport. 

It is our understanding that management of Ventura County Department of Airports has 

had meetings with Horizon Air about providing nonstop service to San Jose with flights 

continuing on to its markets in the Pacific Northwest. We are strongly in support of this 

type of air service and feel that it will be an important link to markets in the north and 

connections to other areas. We believe that if Horizon Air is successful at Oxnard 

Airport, Horizon will add more flights to other markets or additional airlines will come to 

the airport with nonstop service to regional hubs. 

Our community needs air service at Oxnard Airport and this will be a good start. We 

strongly support the application of Ventura County/Oxnard Airport for a grant under this 

program and will support the new air service.

Dear Secretary Lai lood: 

'I'tiis letter is to indicate liDCXJ's support of the application of Ventura Coiint)'/Oxnard

grant requested is §520,000 \vidi a local contribution and ticket purchase program of 

3480,000 as an incentive for new air scr\'ice at Oxnard Airport. 

'llie Oxnaril AiqDort has had continuous passenger air service since 1946 and, unfortunately. 

United Kxprcss terminated its scheduled air service on June 8''' of this year leaving Oxnard 

Airport with no air .service. Ventura Count)' has a population in excess of HlOfiOO people 

and will now be the largest unserved air passenger market in the country. Ventura Countsairports management has been actively .seeking new air service and has met and discussed 

the market potential with eight airlines and all of them have requested some form of revenue 

guarantee to offset the initial start up cost. 

F lorizon j\ir has expressed the most interest at this time and could jiroviile nonstop service 

to San Jose with flights continuing on to its markets in the Pacific Northwest. Horizon Air 

has requested an incentive [sackage that includes a revenue guarantee, airport fee waivers, 

local adverti.sing and marketing, and a prc-purchase ticket program by local Ventura County 

businesses. The inidal service would include two daily round trip flights with 76 scat Q-400 

aircraft at fares that are competitive with fares at Burbank Airport and J/)s Angeles 

International Airport. This is n major upgrade from previous air service. 

This route will be well received by our business and military community. The high tech and 

bio-tech industries in Ventura (bounty will gready benefit with nonstop service to Silicon 

Valley. The Navy operations at Pt, Mugu and Port Huencrne need a link to the Bay Area 

Navy bases nnd to Monterey. This service by Horizon .'\ir will also keep Oxnard /Viq^ort 

connected to the National Transportadon System. 

Thank you for your attention to this irnportant rcjiuest. 1 sincerely endorse the application 

and hope that you will give full and fair consideration to the Ventura (County/Oxnard 

Airport appUcadon consistent with all relevant rules and regulations.

freeways from Ventura County is long and very congested. It can easily take over two hours to get 

to either airport. 

1 understand that Ventura County Department of Airports management has had meeting with 

Horizon Air about providing nonstop service to San Jose with flights continuing on to its markets in 

the Pacific Northwest. We are in support of this type of air service and will be an important link to 

markets in the north and connections to other areas. Wc believe that if Horizon Air is successful at 

Oxnard Airport, Horizon will add more flights to other markets or other airiines will come to our 

airport with nonstop service to other regional hub airports. As one of the largest hotels in Oxnard, 1 

believe air service is vital to our success, as well as to the local economy and other business. 

Our community needs air service at Oxnard Airport and this will be a good start. I strongly support 

the application of Ventura County/Oxnard Airport for a grant under this program and will support 

the new air service.
