Despite stiff head winds in the past, the Gary/Chicago International Airport Authority is backing a study aimed at luring an airline with passenger service.
If it succeeds, it would mark the first time a commercial passenger service regularly uses the airport’s extended 9,000-foot runway, completed in 2015.For years, Gary officials hoped the longer runway, which accommodates larger, heavier planes, could be a game changer in firing up the airport’s economic engine.
Dan Vicari, executive director of the airport, said Allegiant left when the runway was closed for construction to extend it.Allegiant has settled in the South Bend International Airport, offering flights to four Florida cities, Las Vegas, and Phoenix. It also offers flights from the Chicago Rockford International Airport.
He said the airport could use the study to apply for a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation Small Community Air Services Development Program, which finances marketing efforts.The authority also approved design studies for new hangars on the airport’s east end and for the shifting of maintenance and fire safety services to a new midfield campus to open up more space for cargo services.
