In a report released earlier this month, S&P Global Ratings revised its outlook from negative to stable. The revised rating signifies the airport is improving, though challenges remain. The independent, third-party assessment acknowledges the vulnerability DAY has as a small airport with tough competition, but credits the revision in large part to airport management and the region’s strong economic activity. “The outlook revision reflects our view that DAY’s enplanement levels are stabilizing after year-over-year declines since 2013,” S&P Global Analysts Kevin Archer and Joseph Pezzimenti stated in the report. "Our assessment of the enterprise risk profile as adequate reflects DAY’s very strong service area economic fundamentals, low industry risk, vulnerable market position, and strong management and governance.” More below: https://www.bizjournals.com/dayton/news/2019/05/22/report-dayton-airport-outlook-trending-in-positive.html "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers

December 10, 20195 yr The first phase of the terminal improvements, redesigning the facade and pick-up/drop-off area, looks great. I especially like the flattened curb/bollard approach, so it's easy to roll a suitcase between the driveway and sidewalk. Would be cool if the city would explore a similar design for 5th Street in the Oregon and/or St. Anne's Hill (with appropriately tasteful bollards for those areas). Cincinnati did that on Short Vine, but peculiarly left the street corners raised. (And their choice of bollards is rather questionable, bit I digress.)
