Riu Airlines soon could
be
ttiag a new airplane into use
Basterwood Airport in Col-
ge Station, but only if the air-
jmeets certain Federal Avia-
3ti Administration require-
lenis.
iThe plane, a DeHavilland
ash-7, would seat 48 passen-
srs and increase Rio’s service
pability to the Dallas-Fort
Vorih area.
Rio has had four of the air-
lants in operation since Oct.

College Station City Manager
North Bardell said that in order
to land planes w hich carry more
than 30 passengers, FAA Crash
and Fire Rescue regulations re
quire that a fire truck be on
duty.
The City of College Station,
the City of Bryan and Brazos
County each contribute $30,000
annually to a capital improve
ments fund for the airport, he
said.
The College Station City
Council recently passed a re
solution allowing Texas A&M to
use the city’s third of the funds
for purchase of fire fighting
equipment to be on duty at the
airport and operated by airport
personnel. Bardell said.
Easterwood Airport is owned
and operated by Texas A&M.
In the past, each time a plane
capable of carrying more than
30 passengers landed at the air
port, the College Station Fire
Department sent a fire truck
and an ambulance to stand by on
the runway, Bardell said. This
meant off duty firemen had to
be called in to man the fire sta
tion.
The purchase and operation
of the equipment by the airport
would save the city between
$6,000 and $8,000 per year, he
said.
Bardell said Texas A&M is
not a tax-paying entity, and in
the past the city has supported
the University with fire fighting
