Air Passengers May Reach 10,000

If ticket sales continue at the same pace they have since commercial flights began again in late August, Prescott enplanements will reach the magic number of 10,000 — the critical number needed for the City of Prescott to receive a significant increase in federal assistance.

That number could jump from the current under 10,000 passenger subsidy of about $150,000 to an estimated $3 million to $5 million, depending on the City’s new terminal project.

In late October, ticketed commercial passengers on flights aboard United Express operated by SkyWest Airlines were estimated to be just a few hundred shy of the 10,000 enplanements necessary to qualify for the increased subsidy by the end of 2018.

City of Prescott Airport Manager Robin Sobotta said ticket sales for flights to either Los Angeles or to Denver have far exceeded earlier expectations.

That demand convinced the airline to add a Saturday flight to Los Angeles to the schedule Dec. 1. Previously, the Los Angeles flights were six days a week, while the Denver flights were seven.

A SkyWest spokeswoman, Laura Watson, said, “We’ve certainly been happy with the launch.”

Sobotta told the press all indications are passenger numbers will continue to increase, perhaps to double or more than what they had been this past year.

Considerable credit is being given to the support provided by leaders in Prescott and the surrounding communities for their endorsement of increased commercial air traffic.

Prescott Mayor Greg Mengarelli has been outspoken in saying Prescott has become a “destination, not a pass-through, for visitors.” He said he and other community leaders were confident that access to a major carrier, coupled with minimal local traffic, was an appealing factor when compared to tedious travel time to a distant congested airport. “And we have free parking,” Mengarelli said.

Another feature — the airport has been designated as Prescott Regional Airport-Ernest A. Love Field. This was a factor in fulfilling the federal requirement for Essential Air Service (EAS).

City staff report they are working with regional travel agencies to encourage them to have passengers book flights in and out of Prescott.

Concurrent with plans for increasing passenger travel are plans for the design and ultimate construction of a new airport terminal.

It is anticipated that preliminary design of a new airport terminal will be submitted near the end of the year. In mid-October, residents had a chance to give feedback to architectural consultants about what they liked in terminal design. Personnel from DWI Architects and Planners were represented by Executive Vice President Sandra Kukla. She told City personnel and the public that it was likely the complete construction design would be finished by late spring 2019.

Cost estimates are just that — estimates. Numbers range from $6 million to $8 million, depending on whether roads and parking also are included in construction figures.

The City hopes to break ground for a new terminal in the fourth quarter of 2019.

The Yavapai College Performing Arts Center is opening the 2022-23 cabaret series with a concert by Raul Midón on August 26 & 27. Here is today's announcement from YC.- - -Raul Midón Launches YCPAC Cabaret SeriesGrammy-nominated guitarist is the first of four intimate shows, August 26-27Prescott, Arizona (8/12/2022) – While many theaters open with splash and fury, Yavapai College Performing Arts Center’s star-studded ’22-23 season commences with an intimate encounter, an unforgettable artist, and a format that has become a local favorite. Be there when YCPAC brings its audience in close and cranks up the star power August 26 & 27, when Grammy-nominated jazz guitarist Raul Midón launches the eighth season of its critically acclaimed Cabaret Series. “I began the Cabaret Series seven years ago and it has been my most favorite concert experience on our stage.” Dr. Craig Ralston, YC Performing Arts Director of Programming & Development, said. “We bring our audiences close to the artists in an intimate atmosphere that allows for a truly unique experience.”While some performers raise the roof, others – like Raul Midón – are best appreciated from a closer distance. A two-time Grammy nominee for Best Jazz Vocal Album (Bad Ass & Blind and If You Really Want), Midón was praised by the New York Times as “a one-man band who turns a guitar into an orchestra and his voice into a chorus.” His flowing style and way with a lyric shine best in an intimate setting – and the Cabaret Series provides just that.By turning its 1,100-seat auditorium into a 120-seat Bistro, YCPAC invites Cabaret audiences to join the artist up onstage. Watching comfortably from tables with coffee, drinks or hors d’oeuvres, audiences can catch every chord and nuance of a truly remarkable performer. “Raul is a favorite of mine – an exceptional musician with an amazing life story.” Ralston said. “We oversold his show five years ago when he was last here. So, this year we are offering two performances.”Raul Midón is only one of four acts to enjoy the intimate setting and stellar acoustics of YCPAC’s Cabaret Series this season. On October 21, Cabaret audiences will gather again onstage to enjoy The Brian Chartrand Quartet. Favorites of the Phoenix club scene and the PAC’s own Concerts on the Green series, Brian Chartrand deftly blends soulful original songs with an extensive rock/folk set list that has captivated crowds everywhere from the Crescent Ballroom to Carnegie Hall.The Cabaret Series returns in 2023 with straight-ahead jazz saxophone from one of Harlem’s absolute best. Bill Saxton & the Harlem All-Stars unites the renowned sideman and Nick’s Jazz Club veteran with a select team of club circuit virtuosos on February 24, for an evening full of crackle and bounce that its audience won’t soon forget.YCPAC closes its Cabaret season May 5, with a heartfelt journey through Latin music with a soprano voice we’ve come to love. Sofrito & the Blues brings cherished Messiah soloist Carmen Cancél back to Prescott … this time as part of a Latin Quartet. Cancél joins guitarist Juancho Herrera, César Orozco on piano, and drummer Jainardo Batista – for a captivating odyssey through of Latin, jazz, and blues standards and beyond.Tickets for Raul Midón are $55 general admission, which includes seating at a table onstage, appetizers, desserts, coffee or tea and a cash bar. YCPAC’s Cabaret Season special – a 15% savings for patrons who purchase the entire four-show season – continues through August 27.The Yavapai College Performing Arts Center is located at 1100 E. Sheldon Street, in Prescott. The YCPAC Ticket Office is open Tuesdays and Wednesdays, from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.; and Thursdays and Fridays, from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. For reservations or more information, please call: (928) 776.2000 or visit us online at: www.ycpac.com. ...
