One of the most prolific consultants in the aviaiton industry is Michael Boyd from the Boyd Group (http://www.aviationplanning.com/news.htm). Barely a day goes by when there is not a quote from Michael Boyd, most recently his comments on the NorthWest strike. These guys are good, very good.
For a list of the recent accomplishments check out http://www.aviationplanning.com/airservicedevelopment1.htm. In the past twelve months here are some of the services that they established for their clients:
- Kalamazoo/Battle Creek to Atlanta on Delta.
- Chattanooa to Houston on Continental
- Bangor to New York on Continental
- Tupelo Mississippi to Atlanta on Delta
- Latrobe, PA to Detroit on NorthWest
- Lewiston, Idaho to Salt Lake City on Delta
Last year's 33% of the awards under the FAA Small Community Grant program went to clients of Boyd Aviation. If the airport ever decides to hire even more consultants, which I hope we do not, then we should take a serious look at what the Boyd Group. They can be particularly helpful when 1) establishing new service or 2) applying for the FAA Small Community Grant Program.
