About Us

Here at Prescott eNews, we think there's a lot going on in the Prescott quad-city area. And, yes, we know that bad news happens, but we also know that a lot more good news happens. So, we intend to tell lots of good news, while not ignoring the bad news. 

Although there are some online news sites for the Prescott area, there aren't many that seem to take advantage of the medium of the internet. Here at Prescott eNews, we know the difference between putting a book or a newspaper online, and using the Internet to its full potential. And we think it's time that a quality news website makes its home in Prescott, Arizona.

How Old Are You?

Ssshhhh...! Don't tell anyone, but we launched our beta site in June, 2007. So, yeah, we're the new kid on the block. Well, at least for this particular site. But, our staff has been designing websites for nearly 10 years, and are also accomplished Photoshop digital artists, writers, photographers and design instructors. What all that means is that just because this particular site is new, it doesn't mean that we don't know what we're doing.

Please use the contact form to send all comments and suggestions. We look forward to hearing from you.

mesaairlines2.jpg(May 8, 2007, Prescott AZ) Tuesday evening, a facsimile document was forwarded to Mayor Jack Wilson from Jeff Ryskamp, Senior Director of Financial Planning for the Mesa Air Group out of Phoenix.

According to the correspondence, Air Midwest, Inc "respectfully serves notice upon the Department of Transportation, of its intent to discontinue scheduled subsidized Essential Air Service over Kingman, Prescott, and Phoenix. Termination of service will be effective, August 4, 2008."

At present, Air Midwest is the sole provider of certificated scheduled air service out of Kingman and Prescott, Arizona.

Upon reviewing the notice, Mayor Wilson stated, "We're looking at all options and will be working with the U.S. Department of Transportation to offer the citizens of Prescott the most convenient, safest transportation available."

Darrell Willis, Emergency Services Director for the City of Prescott, added that the termination of service was not in any way due to the relationship between Prescott Municipal Airport and Mesa Air. "This situation is a result of financial hardships facing Mesa and other smaller carriers in numerous markets around the country."

Mayor Wilson was emphatic in assuring the public that "We will be communicating with our community as the situation develops."
