Air Service Development is a tricky task that looks different at every airport, but one thing is consistent across the industry: Airlines are in the business of making money. Shocking right? Each airport is responsible for convincing airlines that they will be profitable in their market, and that can be a job that takes years.

In this episode, Jim Evans, Vice President of Marketing and Air Service Development for MKAA, discusses what airports are responsible  for in regards to recruiting airlines, what the state of air service looks like in Knoxville, and what the industry can expect in the future.

Jim Evans is the Vice President of Marketing and Air Service Development for the Metropolitan Knoxville Airport Authority. He has been with TYS for 12 years and in the aviation industry for more than 35 years.
