What are the airport and its authority doing to improve air service out of the Gainesville Regional Airport?
The Airport Director and Staff are in constant communication with the airlines that currently serve the airport as well as those that we would like to attract. We are working hard to improve choices, fares, and the reliability of air travel out of the Gainesville Regional Airport by fostering an open and cooperative relationship with the airlines that serve Gainesville. In addition, in early 2010, the Airport Authority launched the Airport Marketing Task Force which is a regional initiative organized with the help of the Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce and the Ocala/Marion Chamber of Commerce and business leaders to educate and urge local businesses, government and non-profits to adopt a “buy local” element in their travel policies. Information provided by businesses, governments and non-profits will help airport staff prepare for future airline presentations. Learn more about the “buy local” initiative.
