Kenmore Air Losing Money — Might Leave Port Angeles
If Kenmore Air doesn’t break even in 2009, they might discontinue service to Port Angeles.
According to Craig O'Neil, Kenmore Air marketing director, the company has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars since 2004 when they started offering service between P.A. and Boeing Field in Seattle. And they don’t plan on raising air fares.
The Port Angeles City Council might allocate $10,000 in lodging tax revenue for a marketing project to help Kenmore attract more passengers.
Karen Rogers said: “This is not about an incumbent air carrier that happens to be Kenmore, it’s about maintaining passenger service for the general area of Port Angeles and Sequim and Forks, frankly.”
