Mayor David Coss proclaimed this evening at the Santa Fe City Council meeting
that August is “Fly Santa Fe Month.” The purpose of the proclamation is to
remind residents that their hometown airport offers a variety of commercial
flights.
The Mayor
encourages Santa Feans to check flights out of their local Santa Fe Airport
first.
“I just
returned from Mexico and my flight from Dallas landed in Santa Fe. It was so
nice to get in my car and be home in less than 10 minutes,” said Mayor
Coss
Did you know
that your local Santa Fe Municipal Airport offers commercial flights that can
connect you to any travel destination in the world? With American Eagle, United
Express, and Great Lakes making flights daily why not take the hassle out of
flying and use your hometown airport. United Express currently flies Embraer
50-seat regional jets operated by ExpressJet non-stop from Santa Fe to Denver.
Two flights are offered daily from Santa Fe to Denver, and two are also offered
from Denver to Santa Fe. American Eagle, a subsidiary of American Airlines,
flies 50-seat regional jets non-stop from Santa Fe to Dallas/Fort Worth and Los
Angeles (LAX). During the summer season, four flights are available each day
from Santa Fe to Dallas/Fort Worth and four flights are available from
Dallas/Fort Worth to Santa Fe. One flight is also available from Santa Fe to Los
Angeles as well as one flight is available from Los Angeles to Santa
Fe.
Great Lakes
flies turboprop airplanes non-stop from Santa Fe to Denver and Phoenix. One
flight is available every day from Santa Fe to Denver, Denver to Santa Fe, Santa
Fe to Phoenix, and Phoenix to Santa Fe. Prices on the flights are often
comparable to larger airports and sometimes even less expensive. For example, a
Great Lakes flight Santa Fe to Phoenix round trip departing August 16 and
arriving August 18, according to internet search done on July 30, is priced at
$213.30, while a Southwest flight from Albuquerque to Phoenix is priced at
$364.00. When you plan your next trip make sure to check out these airlines’
flights out of Santa Fe. Flying directly from your hometown will save you time
and stress while you help support your local economy.
The full text
of the proclamation is as follows:
WHEREAS, The Santa Fe Municipal
Airport provides hometown commercial flights at competitive prices that can
connect to any destination in the world without the traditional frustration of
large airports.
WHEREAS, in the time it would
take Santa Feans to drive, park, and board their flight at a larger airport they
could already be enjoying their vacation or business trip.
WHEREAS, the airport is an
economic engine for the community that provides many jobs while also providing
direct flights into Santa Fe that are more appealing to tourists and business
travelers who can therefore spend more time and money in the City
Different.
WHEREAS, the airport provides a
stress-free environment that allows patrons to have shorter wait times as well
as hassle-free and affordable long and short term parking.
WHEREAS, a trip to your
hometown airport is as swift and calm as a trip to the grocery store with no
time-consuming traffic that provides the comparable services to large airports
without the stress.
NOW THEREFORE, I DAVID
COSS, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF SANTA FE, hereby proclaim August,
2013 as
FLY
SANTA FE MONTH
