The Fairbanks Economic Development Corporation (FEDC) invites you to participate in the Third Annual Regional Trade Mission to Kotzebue on Thursday, July 6th, 2006. The objective of FEDC’s Regional Trade Mission program is to increase regional commerce by taking advantage of direct air transportation connections and favorable freight and mail rates between Fairbanks and the communities of the Interior and Northern Regions.
Freight and mail rates between Fairbanks and Kotzebue are lower than rates available from elsewhere in Alaska. Further, many air carriers based in Fairbanks offer reduced “backhaul” freight rates that are significantly lower than those that are available from other locations in Alaska. These favorable freight and mail rates present a significant opportunity for regional businesses and communities to benefit from regional trade.
Special airfare and freight rates are available to participants for the July 6th Regional Trade Mission. Seats are limited and reservations will be taken on a first come first serve basis. This will be an all day event, so please plan accordingly.
