NEW "STATE OF THE ART" E175 AIRCRAFT MAKES IT DEBUT AT SUN This new next generation "state of the art" aircraft is now serving SUN! United is flying the more spacious E175 on its daily SFO and DEN nonstop routes, and Delta is flying it on its weekly Saturday SEA nonstop route. This is one more positive step in improving air service at SUN! Read all about it in this great article in Eye on Sun Valley.
PURSUING POSSIBILITIES WITH AIRLINES Fly Sun Valley Alliance recently attended the annual Airports Council International conference and met with a number of key airline decision makers to discuss future service opportunities. The interest in additional service is certainly not unique to SUN, in fact, representatives from 202 airports attended to meet with officials from 26 different airlines, which demonstrates just how extremely competitive it is to secure new and expanded service these days. But we had some very positive discussions and are excited to continue to pursue potential new opportunities.
