FSVA and Sun Valley Resort worked with SUN airline partners to optimize the flight schedule for this coming season based on past performance, projected demand and other factors, with a strategic focus on extension of service during the early summer and fall periods. We are especially pleased to have successfully worked with Alaska Airlines to provide the nonstop Seattle flights throughout the entire fall season as well as begin the United Airlines San Francisco daily flights earlier in June, both which will be a big benefit to local and business travelers, as well as visitors.
FSVA is continuing to work with our airline partners to strategically increase our air service access and the marketing of that service, a strategy which has proven successful. For example, this past winter season we increased our contract air seats by 24% and the bookings for those seats also increased by 24%. We look forward to a strong summer and fall season with more air travelers utilizing the convenient flights and competitive fares being offered at our wonderful local airport.
