These businesses located
at the Dothan Regional Airport make a major contribution to the
Wiregrass economy. They not only generate revenue to help maintain
and operate the airport, they create jobs and provide tax dollars.
The businesses and agencies at the airport annually generate over
55 million in revenue which goes into the local economy. They provide
jobs for approximately 900 persons and pay more than 15 million
in salaries which were spent in the Wiregrass area. The Dothan Regional
Airport is a major industrial engine for the Wiregrass area.
The citizens of the Wiregrass area should protect their investment
in the Dothan Regional Airport by using the facility and its services
whenever possible. If these services are not used there is good
reason to believe that the services will be lost (i.e. Republic
Airlines). Maintaining good air service from Dothan to other points
in the U.S. requires all of the citizens of the area to use the
service available. If the airlines are not fully used, the airlines
will remove aircraft from this market and relocate them in a market
that is more profitable for the airline.
It is the goal of the Dothan Houston County Airport Authority to provide the type of air transportation service most desired by the citizens of the area. The best endorsement of what is desired or is not desired is whether the public uses the services offered. Whenever you fly, fly out of the Dothan Regional Airport. Remember, when you fly out of Dothan, you are doing your part to preserve the outstanding facility which we currently enjoy and you are helping build statistics which will attract better air service for the future.
