Loads

If the airport commission had posted the numbers from Allegiant every month in their board minutes like they should have, we would not be wasting all this time trying to figure out what the passenger loads have been the past nine months.

I believe Allegiant is a well-run business and if they were making money at ORH, they would still be flying out of ORH. We need to find out why Allegiant is still flying Newburgh/Portsmouth (similar distances to Sanford as ORH) and not ORH???
What makes these routes profitable and not ours??
Is it solely passenger count?
Is the price of fuel?
Was it rent??

I have no idea what the answer is but this is what we need to find out.

As times goes by and Allegiant does not end service to any other cities and no other airlines (hope I am wrong) comes to ORH, I hope this attitude changes.
