Airport eyes military contract

MOSS POINT, Miss. - Trent Lott International Airport, now equipped with a control tower and fire station, plans to go after a military contract that could increase its revenue by 25 percent. Air Force, Navy and Coast Guard planes already use the airport’s one runway for touch-and-gos, but they can’t stop or refuel because the airport doesn’t have a military fuel contract. That may be about to change. Carol Snapp, airport director, said they have begun the process to acquire one. (Source: Sun Herald, 05/29/11)
