Consultant: At Least One Airline Interested in Moore County

A major commercial airline is interested in beginning service at the Moore County Airport, aviation consultants say, but local officials are yet to be convinced the service is worth the investment.

Data presented by Volaire Aviation Consulting concluded that Moore County travelers could fill 12 flights everyday if 8 percent of the passengers who now typically fly in and out of the Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) used local service.
