"Will you commit to maintaining service at the locations across New York State which are currently serviced by your two airlines?"

"It is critically important to me that New Yorkers continue to have access to a wide breadth of options for services to and from our airports."

"It is equally important that service is competitive in terms of both the cost and quantity of the flights."
