Dear Ms. Ley:

'"- w' ~ ' l~ .~\ 

On behalf of INTERCON, and Crooked River Ranch, a comm~nity of S,QOO !n Jefferson County 

Oregon (am writing to· stip~rt the grant application for U.s: DOT funding for the Redmond 

Municipal Airport. 

Given our geographic isolation from other metros in the western U.S. and the fact that no interstate 

roadway connects Central Oregon to the rest of the country, commercial air services plays a 

disproportionately important role for our company and the region's economy. 

Our companies, and many others, rely heavily on schedmed air service to connect with customers, 

suppliers, strategic partners and headquarter or satellite operations and to attract visitors to take 

advantage of the geographic splendors of Central Oregon as a great place to vacation. 

Non-stop service to southern California would be extremely valuable to our clients, colleagues and 

tourists. As such we are very supportive of this effort. We believe, this service will be successful, 

sustainable and will play an important role in our success 1n ;dditio~ to ~owing and diversifying the 

regional economy. 

On behalf of INTERCON and Crooked River Ranch, thank you for yqur consideration and the 

opportunity to express our strong support of this grant request. .. 

Sincerely, 

John Bowler

Direct Flights to L.A. 

I read the article in the Bulletin about efforts to create a non-stop to L.A. from Remand/Bend. I recently moved here and 

would like to continue my profession as a business consultant. My greatest concern is easy access to larger cities for 

work contracts given Bend is still in the growing stages and I'm finding my work is often coming from outside Oregon. In 

fact, one of my largest clients is a company out of Los Angeles. Additionally, I'm finding the majority of my colleagues here 

in Bend are also flying to L.A. on a regular basis, both for work and for family. It appears there are many people here in 

the Bend area that have moved from Southern California. 

Bottom line, I highly recommend a direct flight to L.A. from Redmond/Bend. It could only increase business and personal 

travel, bringing more income for all involved.

Air Service Between Redmond, OR and Los Angeles, CA 

I am a resident of Bend, OR and would greatly love to see the air service between these two cities become a reality. My 

husband and I still own property in Los Angeles and fly down at least once a quarter, if not more, to check on our 

properties. It would be so nice to have a direct flight reinstated to this area. 

In addition, any time that I ever took the direct flight when Alaska Airlines had it, the flights were always full. I think it 

would be a great boost for the Central Oregon area to have this direct flight. 

Thanks so much,

I am contacting with regards to this airport. I am both a homeowner and business owner in Central Oregon. Our region 

has been in a huge economic downturn over the past five years.· However, most flights have been full if not booked far in

Expansion of this airport will increase economic stability through air commuters and tourists.

RDM to LAX direct. 

I strongly support reinstituting the direct flight to Los Angeles. I am a small business owner and live in Bend, Oregon. 

Reinstating this air service is very important to my business and the local economy. 

Bringing back the direct flight to Los Angeles would certainly increase the frequency of flying for me and my business 

partners. I have been traveling to LAX from RDM for nearly ten years. I typically flew 12 to 15 times a year. Since the 

direct flight with Alaska/Horizon was cancelled, I have reduced my travel significantly and my business has suffered for 

that reason. The direct flight to LAX is critical for my business and I hope that my feedback will help bring back this air 

service. 

Very truly yours,

City of Redmond, OR - Redmond Municipal Airport 

Dear Ms. Ley: 

- -. 

We strongly support the air service proposal detailed in the City of Redmond's Small 

Community Air Service Development Program grant application to obtain nonstop service to 

southern California. Like many businesses in Central Oregon, our business depends on acce~ 

to air service to continue to prosper. 

Growth in Central Oregon over the past few years has been fueled by the presence of the 

Redmond Municipal Airport. As you evaluate the merits of this application, I encourage you j 

consider how critically important air service is to Central Oregon. As our community continu~ 

to grow and more visitors are drawn to this unique region, our limited transportation option~ 

will be further strained unless service is expanded at Redmond Municipal Airport. 

The Airport has forged strong ties with the business community to attract better air service. 

We appreciate the opportunity to expand that partnership to include the US Department of 

Transportation through the Small Community Air Service Development Program. We are 

pleased to have the opportunity to support this grant application. 

Sincerely, 

David and Patricia Senner

Dear Ms. Ley: 

The Madras Chamber of Commerce strongly supports the air service proposal detailed in the City of 

Redmond's Small Community Air Service Development Program grant application. This grant is focused to 

obtain nonstop service to southern California. 

Our access to improved air service to southern California is very critical and equally valued as the smaller 

community north of Redmond, Oregon. Business travel, where nonstop service will minimize the time and 

expense of accessing Central Oregon, will enable our future economic growth. This service level will 

complement our existing nonstops to Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake City and San Francisco. 

The Airport has forged strong ties with the business community to attract better air service. We appreciate the 

opportunity to expand that partnership to include the US Department of Transportation through the Small 

Community Air Service Development Program. We are pleased to have the opportunity to support this grant 

application.

Dear Ms. Ley: 

Oregon State University- Cascades strongly supports the air service proposal detailed in the City of 

Redmond's Small Community Air Service Development Program grant application to obtain nonstop 

service to southern California. Like many businesses and organizations in Central Oregon, OSU-Cascades 

benefits from access to air service. Increased air service enables our faculty to further their research, 

provides transportation for out-of-area students, and encourages university-industry partnerships. 

Growth in Central Oregon over the past few years has been fueled by the presence of the Redmond 

Municipal Airport. As you evaluate the merits of this application, I encourage you to consider how 

critically important air service is to Central Oregon. As our community continues to grow and more 

visitors are drawn to this unique region- and particularly as OSU-Cascades expands to 3,000-5,000 

students by 2025, our limited transportation options will be further strained unless service is expanded 

at Redmond Municipal Airport. 

The Airport has forged strong ties with the business community to attract better air service. We 

appreciate the opportunity to expand that partnership to include the US Department of Transportation

City of Redmond, OR- Redmond Municipal Airport 

Dear Ms. Ley: 

On behalf of Express Employment Professionals, I am writing to support the 

grant application for U.S. DOT funding for the Redmond Municipal Airport. Given 

our geographic isolation from other metros in the western U.S. and the fact that 

no interstate roadway connects Central Oregon to the rest of the country, 

commercial air services play a disproportionately·important role for our company 

and the region's economy. Our company, and many others, rely heavily on 

scheduled air service to connect with customers, suppliers, strategic partners 

and headquarter or satellite operations. 

Non-stop service to southern California would be extremely valuable to our 

clients and colleagues. As such we are very supportive of this effort. We believe 

this service will be successful, sustainable and will play an important role in our 

success in addition to growing and diversifying the regional economy. 

On behalf of Express Employment Professionals, thank you for your 

consideration and the opportunity to express our strong support of this grant 

request. 

Sincerely, 

Gm~
