Rutland – Southern Vermont Regional Airport〔〔(Rutland – Southern Vermont Regional Airport (official site) )〕 , is a state-owned, public use airport located five nautical miles (6 mi, 9 km) south of the central business district of Rutland, a city in Rutland County, Vermont, United States.〔 Situated in North Clarendon, it was formerly known as Rutland State Airport. Scheduled commercial service is subsidized by the Essential Air Service and provided by Cape Air, with three flights daily on nine-passenger Cessna 402 aircraft to Boston with typical flight times of 40 minutes. Rutland – Southern Vermont Regional Airport is the closest commercial service airport to the mountain resorts of Killington, Pico, Okemo, Stratton, Bromley, Magic Mountain, and Mount Snow. In addition, Suicide Six and Ascutney Mountain resorts are included in RSVRA's airport service area. Rutland – Southern Vermont is an FAA Part 139 certificated airport. As per Federal Aviation Administration records, the airport had the following passenger boardings ("enplanements") in recent calendar years: It is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2013–2017, which categorized it as a ''non-primary commercial service'' airport (between 2,500 and 10,000 enplanements per year).〔 〕 Total air cargo carried in 2006 was approximately 520,000 pounds with 1,560 cargo operations via FedEx and UPS. ==Name change== Legislation was introduced into the Vermont Senate in January 2007 to change the official name of the airport to Rutland–Southern Vermont Regional Airport.〔(Vermont Legislative: 2007–2008 Session, Bill S.0033: The Rutland-Southern Vermont Regional Airport )〕 The state agency of transportation, meanwhile, had plans to change the name to Rutland/Southwest Vermont Regional Airport. This provoked some opposition from the town of Bennington on the grounds that the William H. Morse State Airport (located in the town), is currently known as "Southwest Vermont's Airport". The agency indicated that it intended to go ahead with the name change anyway, claiming that Bennington's opposition came too late in the process. However, the agency changed the name to Rutland Southern Vermont Regional Airport on August 15, 2007. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rutland – Southern Vermont Regional Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
