Erie-Ottawa airport management firm quits

5/19/2001

PORT CLINTON - Avion Management Services, Inc., has ended its agreement to manage the Erie-Ottawa Regional Airport and provide charter services, eight months into its five-year lease.

Avion of Troy, Mich., cited a lack of business for its decision.

An airport spokesman said yesterday that fuel services willcontinue to be available at the airport, which is seeking a new operator. Avion and the Erie-Ottawa Regional Airport signed the agreement in October.

The airport is about 35 miles east of Toledo.
