MLive: Airport hunts for another air service

The Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport is in discussions with various airlines about providing new air service to and from Kalamazoo. But landing one is unlikely until well into 2013, airport Director Cliff Moshonginis tells MLive. Until then, the loss last March of flights handled by discount carrier Direct Air Airlines will continue to reflect negatively on traffic numbers at the airport. However, December through the first few months of 2012 were busy for Direct Air, a direct-to-Florida air service.

Excerpt: “As we’re going through the latter part of this year, I’m encouraged by the advanced scheduling for at least nine months of 2013. It’s going upward,” Moshoginis said.
