Community Air Service Initiative (CASI)
Published: January 27, 2012
The Community Air Service Initiative (CASI) is a non-airport, community-based initiative created to help attract new service to the Central Illinois Regional Airport.
The McLean County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, acting on a request from the Airport Authority, formed CASI along with several community partners after a discussion on the steps which are being taken to replace Air Tran/Southwest service in June of this year. The end of this 16 year relationship could lead to lost jobs, lost revenues for businesses across Bloomington-Normal and Central Illinois, lost tax revenue for government, and potentially shift spending from those travelers currently flying to and from CIRA - to places like Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis, and Peoria.
A press conference was held at the Chamber office on Thursday, Janury 26 to announce the initiative.
