Oppose an increase in Montana's jet fuel tax Your Letter I am an employee of American Airlines and I urge you to oppose H.B. 661, a proposal to hike the tax on jet fuel that could jeopardize our ability to do business in Montana. American has played an integral role in the steady growth of air service to Montana in recent years. We've added routes to Bozeman, Billings, and Missoula, and starting this summer, we'll have new service to Glacier Park International Airport. We're proud to have a hand in making Montana more accessible and its market more competitive. We want to keep this growth going, but raising the cost of jet fuel would saddle our passengers and our operation with excessive and unnecessary costs. In fact, the legislation under consideration would amount to a 175 percent increase in the tax on jet fuel. Moreover, even though business and leisure travelers would bear the brunt of this massive tax increase, non-commercial airports and private pilots would get the benefit. This measure would hamper our industry and make it more difficult to serve Montana's growing market. Please oppose H.B. 661 so we can continue to enable and encourage travel to Big Sky Country.
