Small Community Air Service Development Grant Proposal 

Docket DOT-OST-2011-0119 

Dear Ms. Ley, 

I am writing to support the above referenced Small Community Air Service Development grant proposal, 

submitted by the City of Pil<eville. 

The Pikeville-Pike County Regional Airport (PBX) sits at the center of a 13 county region of 345,000 

people in Eastern Kentucky, Western Virginia and Southwestern West Virginia and is more than 100 

miles from the nearest commercial airport. The PBX Region is surrounded by one of America's most 

important energy producing regions and is ripe for additional economic, industrial and business growth. 

The introduction of scheduled passenger airline service will assist in creating thousands of new jobs. 

The successful award of a Small Community Air Service Development grant will significantly assist the 

City of Pikeviile and its partners - the Pikeville-Pike County Airport Board and the Southeastern Kentucky 

Chamber of Commerce and its consultant in successfully recruiting a regional airline which will provide 

service to a major connecting hub. I am pleased to join my colleagues from throughout the region in 

recommending that the Department provide the SCASD grant to the City of Pikeviile. 

Sincerely,

The introduction of scheduled passenger airline service will assist in creating thousands of new jobs. In 

the healthcare sector in which I work, recruitment of high caliber, world class physicians is critical to our 

future and these individuals relocate to communities with access to commercial air travel.

RE: City of Pikeviile 

Small Community Air Service Development Grant Proposal 

Docket DOT-OST-2011-0119 

Dear Ms. Ley, 

1 am writing to support the above referenced Small Community Air Service Development grant 

proposal, submitted by the City of Pikeviile. 

The Pikeville-Pike County Regional Airport (PBX) sits at the center of a 13 county region of 345,000 

people in eastern Kentucky, western Virginia and southwestern West Virginia and is more than 100 

miles from the nearest commercial airport. The PBX Region is surrounded by one of America's most 

important energy producing regions and is ripe for additional economic, industrial and business 

growth. The introduction of scheduled passenger airline service will assist in creating thousands of 

new jobs. ^ 

Additionally, Pikeviile Medical Center is fast becoming the regions medical leader and the only Level 

2 Trauma Center. Recruiting physician subspecialties is vitally important to providing the community 

with medical expertise. This means that they and their families do not have to travel hours away to a 

larger facility for specialty care. It means that trauma patients will have a better chance at recovery if 

we can recruit trauma physicians. Pikeviile Medical Center currently has over 270 credentialed 

physicians on staff A great many of these are not from this area and must travel great distances to see 

their families. When recruiting physicians from all over the country, they must use an airport that is 

two or more hours away. Not having a major connecting airline hub within close proximity i? a great 

hurdle when attempting to recruit them to this area. 

The successfiil award of a Small Community Air Service Development grant will significantly assist 

the City of Pikeviile and its partners - the Pikeville-Pike County Airport Board and the Southeastern 

Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and its consultant in recruiting a regional airline which will provide 

service to a major connecting hub. As you can see, this will help in our recruitment efforts. I am, 

therefore, pleased to join my colleagues from throughout the region in recommending that the 

Department provide the SCASD grant to the City of Pikeviile. 

Sincerely,
