ELIZABETHTOWN — The Elizabethtown Airport Board recently received its first five-figure pledge for its travel bank, which will guarantee some revenue for the first airline that decides to start local commuter flights. Fort Knox Federal Credit Union has pledged $10,000 to the Central Kentucky Airline Service Travel Bank. Those who give money to the Travel Bank get it back after they buy tickets for flights. And money for the pledges will be collected only after an airline commits. The bank’s president and CEO, Bill Rissel, said in a press release: “We view the development of airline service at (the airport) as one of this community’s most important goals.”
