| Have Opinions About Local Air Service? |
A survey is available for northern Michigan travelers who regularly fly. The survey is offered by the Air Service Task Force of the Pellston Regional Airport and is available here or on the airport's official web site: www.pellstonairport.com. The survey should take about five minutes to complete and asks travelers about their flying habits and those factors influencing their decisions about what airports they choose. The Air Service Task Force uses this information as they advocate for quality air service out of Pellston. The task force is comprised of chambers and visitors bureaus from the northern Michigan communities of St. Ignace, Mackinac Island, Mackinaw City, Cheboygan, Indian River, Harbor Springs and Petoskey.
