Westwind Launches Flights to Rocky Point
Phoenix Airline Receives 'All Clear for Rocky Point Flights
Inaugural Scheduled Service Departs April 1; Air Service Link to Support Rapid Real Estate Development in Mexico
Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) April 3, 2005 -- After a years effort and with hearty encouragement from both sides of the border, Westwind Air Service has received the 'all clear to initiate scheduled service into Mexico. Initial marketing plans will focus on the state of Sonora and will complement Westwinds full slate of charter flights and tours into the Grand Canyon and Page markets. Flights commenced Friday April 1. All flights will depart from the City of Phoenix Deer Valley Airport (7th Avenue and Hiway 101). Concurrent with this exciting development, the company announced it now provides scheduled service into the Grand Canyon.
The booming oceanfront resort community of Rocky Point is targeted as Westwinds initial fly-to market. The Cessna Grand Caravan is the vehicle of choice for the carrier. The Caravan holds nine passengers and Westwind will be offering round trip service from the Phoenix to Rocky Point for the value price of $279 round trip. The flight takes approximately an hour, provides customer convenience from 'door to door, avoids long lines at the airport and reduces the drive time from the Phoenix market..
Real estate development in Puerto Peņasco is at full tilt, with over $400 million in development investment in the ground and on the design boards. Projects range from complete master planned communities to single family homes, luxurious condos, condo hotels and full service luxury resorts, such as the Mayan Palace. In May, the much-anticipated Forrest Richardson-designed 18 hole golf course will open at Las Palomas, affording the vacationer/resident a familiar Arizona amenity -- but with a landscape benefit provided by the beautiful Sea of Cortez.
On February 18, Governor Eduardo Bours and cabinet welcomed representatives from Westwind to the state of Sonora, with a full contingent of tourism support resources. That visit was part of a larger economic development and tourism event which provided the ceremonial groundbreaking for the improvements to the existing airport. A new airport facility with capacity for jet traffic is currently being designed and should be open for operations in late 2007.
