Vector Aviation Consulting Celebrates First Anniversary with Milestone Achievements in Air Service Development

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Minneapolis, MN – August 14, 2025 – Vector Aviation Consulting proudly marks its first anniversary, celebrating a year of driving strategic air service development and analytics that have delivered measurable growth for partner airports across the country.

In its first year, Vector has partnered with Shreveport Regional Airport (SHV) in Louisiana and Punta Gorda Airport (PGD) in Florida, helping each secure significant new nonstop air service while setting the stage for record-breaking passenger traffic in 2025.

Working closely with Shreveport Regional Airport, Vector played a key role in announcing new nonstop service to Nashville International Airport (BNA), expanding SHV’s connectivity and creating fresh opportunities for business and leisure travelers in the Ark-La-Tex region.

At Punta Gorda Airport, Vector supported air service analytics and strategy that played a role in Allegiant Air’s announcement of new nonstop flights to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY), connecting two of the Gulf Coast’s most vibrant destinations.

Both SHV and PGD are on record pace for enplanements in 2025, underscoring the effectiveness of data-driven strategies and targeted airline engagement.

“This first year has been about proving that a focused, relationship-driven approach to air service development works,” said Emily Garko, Principal at Vector Aviation Consulting. “We’re proud to celebrate our clients’ successes as our own, and we’re excited to build on this momentum in the years ahead.”

Vector’s first-year achievements reflect its mission: to combine industry expertise, market intelligence, and strong airline relationships to deliver sustainable air service growth. As the company enters its second year, it remains committed to helping airports strengthen their route networks, enhance passenger options, and drive regional economic impact.
