Abstract

In September 1958, scheduled airline service to Muncie and Delaware County was inagurated by Lake Central Airlines. The entry of this airline into the local market was the result of a long and at times seemingly impossible task by the Muncie Chamber of Commerce, Delaware County Board of Aviation Commissioners, local industry and aviation minded citizens. This achievement was finally realized by the completion of adequate airport facilities to accomodate the aircraft being flown by Lake Central. Yet, this big step was only the beginning of a solution. Airline service to Muncie was now available, but not considered adequate for a community of this size and industrial development. It only served to whet the appetite for more flights, destinations, facilities and service. The efforts of the above named parties continued in 1958 and still continue in 1969.
