Air Service Plan Could Bridge Nebraska Education Trade Gap
Nebraska Department of Aeronautics hired Washington consultant Albert W. Gotch to draft a five to ten year master plan for state air service. State Aeronautics Director James Landstedt and attorney Rush C. Clarke announced the study at a luncheon with Omaha and Lincoln chamber reps. The plan aims to reduce regional divisions by creating a stable, quota-free air network linking eastern and western Nebraska with Colorado and Wyoming, covering commercial general and military aviation and assessing airports. Gotch will tailor a statewide program, with updates and periodic reviews, and may offer local Nebraskan communities consultant services as needed.
