Content | As a very frequent traveler I have experienced the difficulty of finding convenient direct flights to many cities across North America. When flying to area's outside of the specific region, you must connect with flights in various regional hubs. It not only is inconvenient, but also a difficult situation to accomodate when planning as typically you must travel the day before in order to accomodate the next days meetings. I have spoken with many other travelers and they experience the same difficulty. Many companies will not consider Oklahoma for headquarters, regional offices, manufacturing etc. because of the difficulty, the time and expense associated with air travel in and out of Oklahoma.
I would suggest that we revise our policies regarding how we charge airlines for the use of hte airport and provide for them an incentive to make it as painless for them to have originating flights to major hubs outside of the region. We could do this through a reimbursement for air traveler flights and possible mileage flown. Create an incentive that is based upon improvements and increased revenue they experience as a result of new direct destinations.
Not only would this enable better air travel for us as consumers, but also eliminate an obstacle for companies considering doing business in Oklahoma. |
