airports, and L.A. Mayor Antonio Villarigosa publicly has

| Valley leaders long have wished for Palmdale's
airport to offer regular flights to a number of hub
cities such as Sacramento, Dallas, Phoenix and Las Vegas.
Palmdale airport supporters, including Antonivich,

passengers if the right destinations were available. Past
studies have estimated Palmdale could support 2 million
passengers annually, growing to 12.8 million by 2030. |
