Restoring commercial air service to Moore County is a community-led effort supported by local businesses and residents who value convenient travel close to home.
To secure a daily regional flight to Washington Dulles International Airport, the airport must demonstrate financial backing through a Minimum Revenue Guarantee (MRG). This widely used tool reduces risk for the airline during the startup period while passenger demand builds.
The MRG fund is being raised privately through voluntary pledges from businesses and individuals.
Business Pledge Form
Moore County’s business community is leading the effort to restore air service.
Convenient flights help companies attract talent, serve customers, support tourism, and compete nationally. A daily connection to a major hub like Washington Dulles would significantly reduce travel time and improve access for employees, clients, and partners.
Business pledges demonstrate to airlines that our region has both demand and financial support.
Pledges are voluntary, confidential, and contingent on service being secured. No funds are collected until the project moves forward.
Individual Pledge Form
Residents are essential to bringing air service back to Moore County.
Many people already travel frequently for work, family, or pleasure. A local flight would reduce long drives to airports and make travel simpler for people across the region.
Individual pledges show the broad community support for this effort. Your pledge is voluntary and will only be called upon if service is secured.
Minimum Revenue Guarantee (MRG) FAQ
The Minimum Revenue Guarantee is a proven approach used nationwide to launch new air service.
Because new routes take time to build passenger traffic, airlines often require a temporary financial reserve fund before committing aircraft and crews. The MRG provides that protection while demand grows.
This section answers common questions about how the MRG works, how funds would be used, and what pledges mean for participants.
Our goal is to be clear, transparent, and responsive throughout this process.
