Airport Seeks More Money From Youngstown

[AllanY2525]

I think the city should do some cost/benefit analysis and think this one
over very, very carefully.  If United were to stop service for lack of
profitability later, then the city will have thrown the money away - and
as we are well aware, the city is already forecasting a budget shortfall...

Someone should also do some careful market research and make sure
there is enough of a demand for United service to be viable.

The regional airport made a presentation to the city council finance committee today.  Basically, the airport needs financial assistance to provide start up money for United Airlines to commence air service to Chicago.

Should the City of Youngstown subsidize United's air service?
