Airport Straight Talk with Jeremy Monnett

When it comes to the business of aviation, Sonex Aircraft based on the east side of the airport has become a shining star at Wittman Regional Airport. Originally founded by John and Betty Monnett, the company is now run by CEO Jeremy Monnett, a man known for his ability to dig through the politics and help his employees scale the economic hurdles that abound in any aviation business, but can hit a small business even harder.

We spoke with him recently about the value of Wittman Airport to Sonex Aircraft, but also to the Oshkosh and Winnebago County community.

Airport Development, CHAMCO-Style

Drawing business to any airport is a complicated process often consuming months and years to land a single client. The work never ends though and runs the gamut from creating a receptive economic atmosphere, to assisting businesses with financing, logistics, land acquisition and more. Here in Oshkosh, CHAMCO has been there to help the airport develop those relationships that will eventually bring jobs to the community … and add to our tax base of course.

We sat down with Bill Hare recently to talk about the issues he believes will foster the growth atmosphere Wittman Regional Airport needs, but also was quite frank about some of the things that could just get in the way. Hare is a member of the CHAMCO Board of Directors as well as serving as Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Bemis Company Inc in his regular worklife.
