South Bend International Airport

South Bend International Airport has been a significant economic generator in the community, with an estimated annual economic impact topping $433 million. It just made good business sense to take advantage of the many benefits offered by ChoiceLight.

"As with so many other businesses, we rely heavily on the Internet and email, so reliability is very important to us," says John Schalliol, executive director of SBIA. "Our patrons rely on our web site for flight and other information, so we need to be in a position to quickly update our site. In addition, the feed for our flight data is Web−based." The airport also provides patrons in the terminal with access to Wi−Fi. In addition, the airport has experienced significant cost savings by using the ChoiceLight network, amounting to "thousands of dollars every year," he says.

With the airport poised for tremendous growth in the coming years, ChoiceLight provides SBRA with the flexibility it will need to serve the changing needs of the community
