As far as commercial aviation, we can get our messages into other airports and entice people to visit here. Brodak plans to work with travel agents on some ideas to promote Morgantown and maybe create some vacation or excursion packages to the area. But a lot of people agree something should be done. There are a lot of people in the community who don't have a clue about their airport. They don't realize how many flights a day we have here or that there's a great restaurant here.
People see the airport as someplace just for pilots.
To sell Morgantown to arriving travelers, Interstate Airport Advertising has been selling spots in the terminal. For a monthly fee, businesses can be featured on various ad boards around the airport. Product cases are available to display wares. An Aviation Appreciation Day, hosted by the local Civil Air Patrol late in August, was one such way of introducing people to the airport, Plutt said. About 300 attended the daylong event.
