“As an organization that operates in the Purchase Region, we understand that where we choose to fly matters.

When our team flies out of Barkley Regional Airport, we support local jobs, strengthen the Purchase region’s economy, and help keep our communities connected to the places we need to go. Choosing Barkley also offers real advantages for our employees and operations, including convenient parking, shorter security lines, familiar faces, and the benefit of landing close to home rather than hours away. It is a practical choice that saves time, reduces stress, and keeps our business travel rooted in the communities we serve.

We understand that choosing to fly locally helps demonstrate demand and strengthens our region’s case for future flights and destinations. Each local departure contributes to expanded service options, more destinations, and more competitive fares for the region over time.

We also recognize that strong community and business use of Barkley Regional Airport helps secure federal funding for critical infrastructure, including airfield improvements, facility upgrades, and long-term growth that benefits the entire region.

Our organization pledges to always explore the feasibility of flying local and Flying Barkley, knowing that these collective choices support stronger air service, a more resilient regional economy, and a better future for the communities where we live and work.”
