Our Commitment

10/11/2011

Air Choice One is grateful to be the current carrier servicing the community of Burlington, Iowa and 

Decatur, Illinois and we are committed to continued growth in both communities.

As an alternative to our individual city proposals, we hereby submit an option for combined service to 

Burlington and Decatur. This offering is in addition to the individual community proposals and does not 

supersede the individual proposals. Each community is asked to consider and weigh this standalone 

option against the individual service offerings submitted under separate cover. Service and carrier 

information has been outlined in the individual proposals.

We look forward to serving Burlington and Decatur for the next 4 years!
