Several Ocala residents want commercial flights to Ocala

Several Ocala residents wrote in to share their thoughts on the city’s need for commercial flights.

“I’m all for commercial flights at Ocala International Airport. Everything is growing here, including the population. I have seen a lot of private jets fly here, even coast guard planes. I hate driving to Orlando because the time and expense adds up. Orlando is very crowded, international travelers are there for the attractions, and I know for sure that people hate to go to Orlando. The Gainesville airport is so far from I-75 and Gainesville is not a nice area to drive through,” says Ocala resident Cory Howells.

“It would be nice to have commercial passenger flights into Ocala. Maybe just to and from Atlantic City, New Jersey and Lexington, Kentucky at first, and just a couple times a week,” says Judy Bales, Ocala resident.
