2. Air Service Develc�pment update
Airpart Director Caruso indic�ted that he and Risteen met with United Airlines. They made a
presentatic�n for the Bangar tc� Chicago route. It was a positive meeting, but non committal.
Bangar is campeting with ather Airports. The Airlines are na� adding fli�h�s, but in certair�
rr�arkets are adding capacity. If Bangor was to pick up this service another cammunity would
lose this seu-vice. United is looking at other Airports that are not performing to their
expectatians. This �c�ul� be a lang pracess of manths to years. They are irrrpressed vvith Bangor
for our cr�nnectians with China and the exchange school population. They will continue to
follow up with United.
