Here's
a report that Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport, the small airport
that serves corporate and private jets in the Denver area, is preparing
for the huge influx of those arriving for the convention by private
jet:
BROOMFIELD, Colo.— Denver AirCenter, Denver’s
executive FBO located at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport, is busily
preparing for the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Denver this
August. The DNC is expected to bring thousands of travelers to the
area, many of whom will arrive on private and corporate aircraft that
will land at Denver AirCenter.
The FBO, or fixed based
operator, has established a DNC private air travel hotline at
800-525-8139 to field travel and planning questions from people coming
to the convention via private, corporate and charter aircraft.
Denver
AirCenter is also staffing up to ensure the seamless delivery of the
concierge-level passenger and pilot services for which the FBO is known.
“We
are anticipating an influx of aircraft looking for the closest landing
spot to DNC activities and downtown Denver come August,” said Laura
Turner, general manager. “No other airport offers a quicker trip to
downtown Denver. We know that busy conventioneers will appreciate that
the drive between Denver AirCenter and the DNC is much faster than
traveling on the clogged routes between other airports and downtown.”
So much for going green and flying commercial. Source
