Airline <br />officials say the current popularity of the route led them to add the additional flight. The third flight will <br />start June 7, departing at 10 a.m. and arriving in Salt Lake City at 12:46 p.m. The return flight leaves <br />Salt Lake City at 8:30 a.m., arriving in Eugene at 9:26 a.m. <br /> <br />A new “connect bank” structure at Salt Lake City International Airport has 37 inbound connecting points. <br />This allows for the 8:30 a.m. Salt Lake City departure to serve as a potentially high-volume connection <br />from business centers in the Midwest. Officials with Delta Connection believe this flight will be very <br />successful. “We are very pleased to see Delta provide additional capacity,” said Bob Noble, Eugene <br />Airport manager. “These past two weeks all seats have been sold out and passengers have not only had <br />challenges getting a seat out of Eugene, but also getting home, regardless of the airline selected. We <br />have been working with Delta to add either more flights or larger aircraft.” <br /> <br />Delta recently restructured its schedule at Salt Lake City, providing better opportunities for Eugene <br />passengers traveling east to reach their destination at a reasonable hour. Delta Connection currently has <br />two daily non-stop flights to Salt Lake City at 6:15 a.m. and 12:41 p.m. The CRJ 200 Bombardier <br />Canadair regional jets carry 50 passengers.

This month’s Governing <br />magazine includes an article about cities’ use of citizen surveys that prominently features Eugene’s <br />experience (http://www.governing.com/manage/pm/perf0407.htm). <br /> <br />The City of Eugene has conducted the community survey for the past dozen years, finding it helpful in <br />gaining a better understanding of community priorities and perceptions; the survey has become an <br />integral part of the process of measuring and improving the City’s performance. The most recent survey <br />can be found at http://www.eugene-or.gov.
