The FAA twice found there was no economic justification to replace the present Bowling Green Airport that is operating at only 26% of capacity. The ITA asked the FAA to withhold this rejection and to “keep the door open” for new information. In fact it would be cheaper to expand the present airport than build a new one, and the present contract with the FAA has more than 15 years to run.
