Hello! I am Scott O'Neil of the Indian Wells Valley Economic Development Corporation. The IWVEDC is working to bring air service back to the Inyokern Regional Airport (IYK). Available air service from IYK to Las Vegas will improve the quality of life for everyone in the high desert region. It will significantly improve our economic base and it will enable more visitors to enjoy the desert and the eastern Sierra Nevada mountains. The air service envisioned will operate and be certified under FAA Part 135 for un-scheduled commercial air charter service using aircraft of fewer than 30 seat. The air service will be accessible via normal commercial travel websites and the Defense Travel System for government travelers. We completed an initial study that identified our demand signal, destination points, and scheduling needs; as well as the flexibility we want in operating the service. Now, our target is to raise $100,000.00 to select an air service provider and to work with them to develop a executeable business plan that meets our local requirements, travel needs, and capacity. That plan will then be executed in the final phase to realize local air service operations. Please help us generate the money needed for this project.
