ExistingAir Service Submitted by, Lafayette Parish, Lafayette, Louisiana Lafayette Airport Commission

Lafayette Regional Airport DUNS # 0591181820000 Congressional District 07 Lafayette Regional Airport (LF1) is a small, non-hub airportthatprovides air service to major hubs (ATL, DFW, and IAH) for connecting service. Three airlines provide service- American Eagle, Delta Connection <md United Airlines. Twenty-one daily flights offer 1,150 seats available forpassengers. A summary ofthe service from the Lafayette Regional Airpot1 is listed below by each airline: American Eagle offers four daily flights to Dallas/FortWorth. Aircraft used are EmbraerERJ145jetaircraft with seating capacity for 50 passengers for a total passenger capacity of200 people per day. Delta Connection offers six daily flights to Atlanta. Aircraft used are CRJ- 200jet and Embraer ERJ- 145jetaircraft with seating capacity for 50passengers for a total passenger capacity of300peopleperday. United Airlines offers eleven daily flights to Houston 

### (IAH) which comprises fifty percent of the flights from LFT. Aircraft used are Embraer ERJ- 145jet aircraft with seating capacity for 50 passengers and Bombardier Q400 with seating capacity of70 passengers and one daily flight ona SAAB

- 340 turbo prop aircraft with seating capacity of34passengers for a total passenger capacity of650 peopleper day. The top destinations forpassengers flying to/fi:om LFT are Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas, Atlanta, and New York. Average round-trip 

### air fares range from $287 to/fromDallas, $365 to/from Denver, $572 to/fromLas Vegas, $287 to/from Atlanta, and $491 to/from NewYork. LafayetteRegional Airport is the major airportfor the state's region that is refetTed to as the Acadiana Region. Thepm·ishes within this region include Acadia, Evangeline, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary, and Vermilion. The airport is located within the city of Lafayette, which is the majormetropolitcm area for the region. The catchmentarea for the airport is 640,872 residents. Historical Air Service Since collecting enplanement data, LFThas fluctuating enplanementrates, especially during the pasttwelve years. LFTsawa substantial increase in passengerbom·ding until 1998, whenit peaked with 214,000 enplanements. 

### In 2000, American Eagle beganto cut its service tolfi.·om LFT and entirely left the Lafayette market 

### inMarch 2002 as a result of9/11. The airline returned to the Laf.·tyette market inApril 2006 and currently offers four flights perday to/fromDallas/Fort Wot1h. Hurricanes Katrina and Ritacreated abnom1al conditions for the majority of the airports in Louisiana. 

### 2006 enplanements rose by 

### 8.5 percent over 

### 2005, and 

### 2007 enplanements increased 

### 9.5 percent over 

### 2006. By 

### 2008, air travel to/from New Orleans stabilized and enplanements at LFTdeclined by five percent. During 

### 2009, enplanement figures dropped another one percent. Itis currently estimated that LFT loses 35 percent ofthe regional flying marketto other airports, which ammmts to approxin1ately 

### 75,000 passengers annually. Factors, such as direct flights and lower airfares, indicate that the leakage ofair traveler passengers from the Lafayette/ Acadiana Regionto other markets will continue ifmitigating measures are not implemented. 

### PastAir Service DevelopmentEfforts In

### 2004, LFTreceived a grant through the Small Community

### Air SetviceDevelopmentProgram for a three-year grant period to address the decline ofenplanements andprovide methods to increase enplanements. Through a partnership with the LouisianaDepartment ofEconomic Development, the Lafayette Convention & Visitors Bureau, and the Lafayette Economic DevelopmentAuthority, an aggressive marketing program wasdeveloped and implemented. Television, radio, and outdoor adve11isements targeted the core market 

### inLafayette Parish. A significant pot:tion ofrespondents (forty-four percent); surveyed in an in-terminal survey, remembered the advertising efforts, and a comparable number (forty-two percent) remembered the "FlyLafayette" sloganused in the ads. In addition, a 36-page economic development brochure that prominently featured Lafayette Regional Airport was developed and is cunently being used by the Lafayette Convention & Visitors Bureau, Lafayette Economic DevelopmentAuthmity, Lafayette Pruish Consolidated Govenunent, and many otherprivate businesses and governmental agencies to attract and provide comprehensive infonnation aboutthe AcadianaRegionto potential businesses and visitors. Research conducted as partofthis grant showed that a major banierfor the Lafayette market was a lack ofair service to/from Dallas/Fort Worth. The LAC and 

### its partners effectively convinced American Eagleto returntothe Lafayette market in April 

### 2006. During the next two years, the

. leakagerate dropped from 64 percent to 40 percent.

In 

### 2008, the leakage ofregional passengers choosing to fly out ofNewOrleans began to increase with LFTrealizing a five percent loss ofenplanements. A major advertising campaign was launched targeting the business and leisure traveler. Radio, TV and print media was utilized to encourage individuals to "Fly Lafayette." During

### 2009 andearly 

### 2010, the airport's website was redesigned. A major additionto the website was the inclusion ofa travel cost calculator that allows travelers to compare the complete cost (parking costs, mileage, and aitfare) to fly to/from Lafayette to comparable costs to fly to/from BatonRouge orNew Orleans. During 

### 2011, a newairport signwithanLED screen was installed onUS Highway 

### 90, a heavily traveled road located atthe entrance to the airport. This screen rotates images promoting all three airlines as well as local events. The visibility ofthis signraises public awareness ofthe airport and the airlines that fly in/out ofthe area. 

### Italso creates awareness ofthe airport to travelers fi·om the surrounding pal'ishes that flights are available inLafayette.The "Fly Lafayette Club"loyalty programhas beenreintroduced withnew incentives. Membership has increased from 164 members initially inMm·ch 2011 to 3,513 in June 2012. Two permanenttouch-screenkiosk datacollection centers have been installed atthe airpmi terminal to obtain traveler data and allowthem to signup for the free club. Prize incentives from more than 50 local businesses are offered to entice travelers to become members. Members swipe a magnetic striped card atthe kiosk to enter a monthly drawing every time they fly. Data can betracked, and itallows the airpott to detennine which members are the most frequent flyers. The program has attracted national media attention as an example ofhowloyalty programs help smallerairports ret(lin enplanements. It's been featured in USA Today newspaper, in AirportCouncils International ofNorth America's trade magazine 

### Centerlines, on NBC's Todayshow, and in local newspapers and TV news stories. LFT expanded in 2011 with the addition ofVision and AllegiantAirlines. These lowcost carriers committed to the Lafayette market for limited tin1e periods with incentives like providing marketing funding and the waiving oflanding and rental fees for a set time period. VisionAirlines flew fromLFTtoDestin, FL twice a week for approximately 10 weeks in June and August of2011. The flight schedule offered byVision Airlines was limited to twice a week and was notvery well received byAcadiana's flying public. ·AllegiantAirlines flew two direct flights a week from Lafayette to Las Vegas from November

2011 through Febmary 2012, with an average monthly load factor of76.3 percent. One ofthe major issues that arose with the Allegiant flight was lack ofgateparking space as 

### all ofthe other airline carriers cmTently have evening flights occupying all ofthe available gates at LFT. Additionaljetparking space would have eliminated many ofthe difficulties incurred by Allegiant dming their time at LFT. In November of2011, the Federal Aviation Administration named Lafayette Regional Airport, the LouisianaAirpot1 ofthe year for the second time in sixyears. 

### Air ServiceNeeds and Deficiencies 

### In 2008, enplanements atLFTfell by five percent. During this same year, enplanements inNew Orleans grewbyfive percent. Enplanements for 2009 demonstrated a continued trend with a decline ofan additional one percent. Enplanement figures for New Orleans have retumed and exceeded rates prior to Hurricane Katrina demonstrating that individuals are again choosing to fly out ofNew Orleans. Two ofthetop five destinations for people flying to/from Lafayette are Dallas and Atlanta. These destinations are direct flights and passengers typically connect to otherflights from these destinations. Destination cities where Lafayette retains 65 percentor less ofpassengers include Denver, NewYork, WashingtonD.C., Miami, and Orlando. Fourofthese destinations are onthe east coast. Directflights and low airfares offered bylow cost cm1·iers are theprimary factors for air traveler leakage to other airpmis. Lowcost carriers offer direct flights and airfm·es that are 40 percent less than the aitfm·es for the top five destinations that air travelers fly to/from Lafayette. An

### average round trip airfare from Lafayette to New York City costs $491, while low cost caniers offer flights from New Orleans-tQ New York City for $251. A major deficiency is a lack ofeducation and understanding ofthe overaii time and cost ofair travel. Generally, an air traveler looks at the amount ofair travel time that it takes to get from one destination to another. Travel time to another airportthat is not within their close geographic location is not taken into consideration. The additional costs, such as the gas and wear and tear costs ofa vehicle as well as higher parking fees are not factored into the overall cost for theirtravel. Strategic Plan 

### In an effort to stop the leakage to New Orlem1s and create space for additional catTiers, the La£1yette Airport Commission (LAC) will implement plan to achieve the following goals:

• Continue to work to reduce the leakage ofLafayette travelers flying in/out ofother airports • Continue to workto retain and increase flight service to/fromLafayette • Increase the aircraftcapacity to!fi·om Lafayette Airline Communication Program Through a working partnership Lafayette Airp01t Staffm1d members ofmanagement ofthe cUtTent three air carriers that serve Lafayette work to inform and gain feedback about flight service to/:fi'om Lafayette. The LFT aviation director will report on the current demand for flight services within the region, including upcoming tourism events. economic issues such as new and expanding businesses and industries, and the potentialneed to increase aircraft capacity at LFT. These meetings will also provide information on the regional marketing initiative and request input and suggestions from the air carriers to increase the aircraft capacity at LFT. Another objective ofthese meetings will be discussions aboutthe possibility ofthe current air 

### carriers to offernon-stop service to othermajor hubs, such as Charlotte, Newark, Washington D.C., and Las Vegas. Another initiative includes research m1d discussions on the possibility ofobtaining additional air cruriers to fly to/from Lafayette. This effort will begin with m1 exploratory stage that will also take into consideration the possibility oflosing a currentcarrier that is already serving LFT if another air carriercame into the market. Research & 

### Regional Marketing Program In

### an effort to reach the secondm·y market ofthe Acadim13 Region, m1 aggressive marketing program is targeted to three key outlying catchment areas -NewIberia, Opelousas, and Rayne/Crowley. Implementation will begin by conducting focus groups inthese m·eas to gauge passenger leakage to other airports, ascertain impressions ofLafayette Regional Airport, ask what would motivate participants to use the airport more often, and what competing airports they use and why. The marketing program will be utilized to educate two different target audiences: the tJ:aditional baby boomer/business flyer and the 18

- 49 age flyer. The traditional baby boomer/business

### flyer relies on newspaper, television and radio for information. The 18

- 49 flyer relies on the web and social networking, such as Facebook and Twitter for receipt ofinformation. An 

### aggressive marketing program will be implemented that will increase the marketing message to these two different audiences throughout the Acadiana Region. Social_Networking As pmi ofthe effort to reach new audiences, thisprojectpromotes its "Fly La:fuyette" message through social media. The LAC website will be constantly updated, including a mobile application for smart phones, to provide individuals with immediate, new information to 

### help educate and provide the best solution to their flying needs. Information will also be shared through an e-newsletter, Facebook, Twitter, and any other social medias thathave become popular and available. Promotions Numerous promotions continue to be offered, especially through the Fly Lafayette Club. Prize incentives to members such as free dhmers, attraction passes, hotel stays, and logoed merchandise are offered by entering drawings at one ofthe airport kiosks orthrough other online promotions. The LCVC is 

### a_partner through a two-month Eat

### Lafayette event in which local diners receive discounts from local restaurants. LCVC will also include the airport in their convention infmmation and atregional meetings andconventions. Media Advertising Advertising in the regional newspapers, television stations, and radio stations will target the two different audiences. Ads have been designed to interest the traditional baby boomer/business flyer while other ads- were designed to interestthe 18

- 49 age casual flyer. The selection of newspapers, television and radio stations was determined for each target audience with the days and times ofscheduled adve1iising being a part ofthe decision making process. Increase Aircraft Capacity The existing tenninal wasdedicated in 1959-, expanded in 1968, and expanded again in 1987, bdnging the total squm-e footage to 55,300. The enplanements in 1987 were 106,445. Enplanements since 1987 have doubled with enplanements in 2011 at 228,380, but the tenninal, although there have been upgrades and improvements since 1987, the size has notincreased. The number ofgates necessary for aircraft boarding has not changed since 1987. Cunently, there are no gates available for additional carriers to be added to LFT. There is parking space for five aircraft, and currently., there are five aircraft that arrive beginning at 20:01 and are stationed overnight at LFT. LFT 

### isused as a diversion airport for both New Orleans and Houston. With room for parking only five aircraft, there is not sufficient room with the existing operations to park any diversions at the terminal. In the pastfew years, we have at times had up to 14 diverted aircraft on the airfield at the same time. With new regulations regarding passengers sitting on ait·craft on the tarmac, safety concems regarding aircraft attempting to fly in turbulent weather may be created. In order to entice low cost air carriers into Lafayette, it 

### is going to be 

### necessm-y to increase the number ofgates available for aircraft, therefore increasing the capacity ofthe terminal. The

### Lafayette Airport Commission has hired a consultant to begin addressing the future needs ofthe airpmt with apreliminary study necessary to plan for the future. Some ofthe major issues experienced with our existing terminal are: o Airport airside ofthe terminal is too small to accommodate additional aircraft or gates o Space inside the sterile area is too small to allow enough boarding room for additional passengers o Insufficient area in the lobby to add additional ticket counters for new airlines o Restrooms inside the sterile area are undersized to accommodate cun·ent passengerlevels Public/Private Partnership 

### Two area organizations have**agr~** 

### to partner with the LAC for this project. The Lafayette Convention & 

### Visitors Commission (LCVC) will be a prutner ru1d will provide $80,000 in advertising and promotional assistance ofthe airpott and its

### programs. The LCVC promotes all aspects ofthe Acadiana region including conventions, spmting events, concerts and area festivals. The LCVC also promotes area attractions, hotels and eating establishments. A major function ofthe LCVC is assisting domestic and international tour operators and travel agencies with group.travel needs. Major assistance is also provided for conventions and trade shows, with the majority ofthese organizc1tions requiring air travel assistance. Lamar Advertising is the largest outdoor signage company in the Acadianaregion. This company has prime outdoor billboard spaces throughout the seven-parishregion. Lamm· Advertising has agreed to donate space on no less than six billboards every month throughout the three-year project. Each billboard rental space is valued at $900/month for a total donation of $194,400 over the three-yearperiod. Program Budget 

### The Lafayette Airport Commission (LAC), in anticipation ofincreasing airline service to the AcadianaRegion, realizes it must increase the size ofits 

### existing terminal. LAC has already conducted apreliminary study and is working on a concept design. The next step will be a schematic and developmental design at an estimated cost of$1,500,000. The LAC, in pattnership withthe Aviation Section ofthe LA Department ofTransportation and Development, is requesting a match of$750,000 from the Small Community Air Service Development Grant Program. FundingAssurances 

### The LAC will utilize approved accounting procedures to trackthe project's expenditures as outlined inthe DOT contract. The LAC staffwill be responsible for the administration ofthe grant and the monitoring oftheproject's goals and objectives. The LAC will accept all grant assurances, that all funds (federal, state and local) intended for this project will not be 

### diverted to other uses, as required in the tem1s and conditions ofthe grant offer.Monitoring ofthe Program 

### The LAC staffwill be responsible for the monitoring ofthe program's goals· and objectives. Monthly reports will be prepared and provided to the LADOID and the LAC. The monthly report 

### will reflect the 

### progress ofeach component ofthe program and whether the objectives are being completed in a timely mru.mer. Each report will include the monthly enpfanement report and an analysis ofthe enplanementrate. The rate will be monitored to detetmine ifenplanements are increasing and/or leveling offfrom a negative decline. Each component ofthe marketing plan willbe monitored and reported on a monthly basis. All efforts and contacts with airlines will be reported on a monthly basis to evaluate the success ofretaining and increasing flight service to/1i·om Lafayette. Monthly results ofthe "Fly Lafayette" will be reported as well as the number of"hits"that were received on the airport's website, Facebookpage, Twitter, and e-newsletter. Four quarterly reports will be prepared each year to update the progress ofthe design. Upon completion ofthe three yearprogram, a final report will be prepared and submitted along with documentation oftheplans. Continuation ofthe Program Upon Completion ofthe Grant Period 

### With a larger tem1inal and availability ofadditional gates with room for additional carriers, through increased revenue fi·om additional enplru.1ements, the LAC will be able to maintain an aggressive marketing program that will provide funding for continuedmru.·ketresearch and programs that will focus on meeting the needs ofair travelers, changes in the airline industry as well as changing conditions within the Lafayette market and the state that may impact air travel service to/from Lafayette. Legal Sponsor 

### The Lafayette Airport Conunission, apublic goverrunental elltity ofthe Lafayette Consolidated Government will be the legal sponsor for this program. The LAC has the legal authority to assume the responsibility to 

### ensure that all funding under federal, state and local laws will be can-ied out for all aspects oftlus grant program.
