Abilene Regional Airport and Abilene Chamber of Commerce encourage Businesses to Fly Local
Abilene Regional Airport (ABI) is excited to introduce the "Fly Local Pledge," an initiative encouraging businesses to support their local airport and contribute to the economic growth of the Big Country region. By choosing ABI for their air travel, businesses can help foster a thriving local economy and enjoy the convenience of flying close to home.
As an initiative launched with the Abilene Chamber of Commerce, the "Fly Local Pledge" asks local businesses to consider the benefits of flying from ABI rather than airports in neighboring cities. These benefits include less time commuting, a stress-free experience, increased efficiency, and the ability to help boost local businesses. Each flight that departs from ABI not only represents convenience for the business traveler but also contributes to the regional economy by supporting jobs and encouraging investment in Abilene's future.
"When the Abilene Regional Airport wins, our entire region wins," said Doug Peters, President & CEO of the Abilene Chamber of Commerce. "Access matters and is a distinct driver of a community's success. Whether it's access to markets, family, or vacation destinations, the health of our airport is an important barometer of how well our community is performing."
The growth of air access is directly tied to our willingness to use our regional airport, and I encourage local businesses and residents alike to take the Fly Local Pledge."
Businesses interested in participating in the "Fly Local Pledge" can visit https://iflyabi.com/fly-local-pledge/to learn more and sign up. By taking the pledge, businesses commit to considering ABI first for their air travel needs, strengthening the airport's ability to offer additional routes and better services in the future.
To celebrate the launch of this initiative, Abilene Regional Airport will dedicate a "Fly Local Pledge" wall within the airport terminal. Abilene Regional Airport and the Abilene Chamber of Commerce will also provide updates on how the community's support is making a difference in local business growth and development.
