Welcome to the 641st Meeting of the Rotary Club of Dixie Sunrise!
Marc Mortensen from the City of St. George and Brandi Honey from SkyWest Airlines presented the City’s new Fly SGU campaign designed to get visitors and residents to using the St. George Municipal Airport. Commercial air service fares, frequency and type of aircraft are all determined by demand. If we are going to see an increase in flight destinations and times, better fares and jet service in the future we need to support the service we currently have which is six daily flights to 
Salt Lake City (SLC) and two daily flights to Los Angeles (LAX). Remember, when booking flights to/from St. George always input airport code SGU first!
Why Fly SGU?
Eight Flights per day
Four full service care rental agencies
Free WiFi
Free Parking
Connect to anywhere worldwide
Super convenient!!
