More international
flights to build economic development
The
International Air Service Committee, made up of
local business and community leaders who help
recruit and retain nonstop international air service
to Portland International Airport, needs your help!
Currently Delta Air Lines is the only carrier to
provide this service. Portland cannot afford to lose
these flights which is why the public is being asked
to take a
brief survey to be completed by Friday, October
16. Receive a $15 gift to dine at Stanford's
Restaurant and Bar at the airport, and a chance to
win a pair of Portland Trail Blazer Champion Club
tickets to an upcoming regular season game.
For more about the survey contact Rick Aizawa at
503-460-4880. |
