Little Rock National Airport is hoping to
lure more flights and airlines by offering six-month discounts on
landing and gate fees. The airport is also spending more to promote
its flights.
Through September, overall domestic passenger traffic has
dropped three-point-two percent from a year ago. Airport officials say the inc
entives are necessary to compete
with other airports during the air traffic slowdown that still
lingers from 2001 terrorist attacks.
The airport package would waive airport landing fees and gate
rental for six months. An advertising package to promote new,
nonstop jet service or expanded service to existing destinations
was increased to 25-thousand dollars from ten-thousand-dollars.
