If Tallahassee wants to grow the airport traffic their need to address ticket prices. I recently drove to Destin/Ft Walton Beach for a flight to Tulsa. Ticket from Destin was $468, tickets from Tallahassee were well north of $900.
I am pretty sure it is down because of the Weather up North. Some people do not realize what happens if you Cancel just ONE Flight let alone Thousands.
Filling the Airport Board positions with political cronies has worked out so well for us, NOT!
