The Comox Valley Airport is in the process of putting together an incentive program aimed at qualifying air carriers who provide new or expanded service to the Comox Valley.
The program's purpose is to stimulate and increase passenger traffic between Comox and new destinations, enhance economic opportunities and strengthen commercial and cultural ties between the regions. YQQ will be working with its community stakeholders to develop a program that can help strengthen and support new services to our area. Airline incentives would be used in the most effective way possible to reduce the risk to an airline during the start-up phase of a new service, and to build awareness and demand for a new air service as it becomes established. Examples of airline incentives include items such as marketing support and aeronautical fee discounts for a fixed period of time. They would not be used to "buy" air services as we approach air carriers only with business cases that can be self-sustaining in the long term Media Contact: Christianne Wile | |
