The proposed route, if approved, will pass over C2dar City, and because be-cause of the fact Cedar City is located lo-cated an ideal distance between points for a major stop-over port on such a route, the local airport becomes strategically located from a commercial!, angle. Several commercial com-mercial aviation officials have already al-ready expressed the opinion that the local port is ideally located from all angles and should become a field of major importance in this part of the country', and it is hoped that officials of the Western Airlines can be convinced of the feasibility of using this airport. If such a plan could be worked out, it would be necessary to enlarge en-large the present field to provide landing facilities for the large main-llners main-llners and in order to do that It will be necessary to acquire more land. At the present time the Chamber Cham-ber of Commerce and City officials are working to secure more land and enlarge the field. |
