For now, those target overseas markets are London and Frankfurt, though the city has also commissioned SH&E reports for Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific and Korea Air--part of a renewed flirtation with the Pacific Rim that included a "trade mission" to Hong Kong last year by present aviation director Jim DeLong and Webb aide Stephanie Foote. With DIA finally open, says Koller, "we anticipate putting a lot of focus on air-service development."
And wherever DIA may roam in search of new air service, it's a safe bet SH&E will be along for the ride. The aviation department has budgeted $100,000 for the consulting firm in 1996.
