RE: Support of the South Bend Regional Airport Apptkaiion lor Furidino Under the Department of 

Transportation Small Community Air Ser\'ica Developn^nt Pfogram 

Dear MI. Secretary'. 

Or, behalf of Midway Truck 8 Equipmsrit Repair. I v.ould like to e.xpress our enlhusiastic support for 

the Small Community Air Sep.'ice Developmenl Grant application submitted by the St. Joseph 

Count/ Airport Aulhorify for mari<eting funding to encourage a new carrier lo enter the South Bend 

market v.'ith norvstop service to Denver, CO. 

Business travel costs are examined dosel>' today, and aifordabts fares from the South Bend 

Regional Airport are impojlant to our bottom line. A flight to "Denver on a \a\-i cost airline has thcpotential to celi\'er great value to this region. The proposed seni'ice to Denver imemalional Airpon 

offers an important business destination from S3N and more iiTip-Jrtantly provides the Michiana 

region with an access point to olher strategic westbound destinations. There is presently no lo'.\'-

cost -iia-j to fly west fiofln the South Bend Regional Aitpotl. 

Midway Truck & Equipment Repair is committed to using this new ser\'ioo whenever possible. 

Because the South Send Regbnal Airport is dose, lirics are shorter and parking is aftordable, v/e 

are inclined to use it ratrier than driving -o a distant airport. We want to see a nonstop flight to 

Denver, CO from our bcal airport, and WG aro commi-tc-d to seeing this new scivice succeed and 

v,'e v.ill help to support it in any way w* can. 

We urge you lo lully lund the request from South Ber>d Regional Airport fox a Small Community Aii
