Ladiese and gentlemen, welcome to Pittsburgh-Heinz International Airport.
Sound strange? It is. No international airport in the country has adopted a corporate name.
Allegheny County Councilman Ed Kress wants Pittsburgh to be the first. He's introducing a bill at tonight's council meeting that calls on the county to sell the airport's name to the highest bidder, starting at no less than $5 million annually over a 10-year period.
"It's a great advertising location," said Mr. Kress, R-Shaler. He may be right. About 14 million people use the airport year, according to JoAnn Jenny, a spokeswoman for the Allegheny County Airport Authority.
JetBlue Airport has a nice ring, doesn't it??

How about Worcester-Boston Advantage Airport. My guess is that Advantage Benefits would be the sole bidder...

Thnk there is potential for an airline, corporation os shipping company that could see the benefits of owning their own airport. Although I disagree with you, your opinions are always appreciated.
What about selling it to a corporate airline. A airline like Ameristarjet could use it as their Northeast hub.
