Mesa Keeps MD Helicopters

MD Helicopters will remain at Falcon Field until 2013. Here is the Republic's take on it as well. Looks like they are going to keep the rent lower and give MD some flexibility in expansion over the next few years. This, however, is only part of the deal. Mesa now needs to figure out a way to cut a deal with MD to get them on another 100 acres to expand their business and bring the jet manufacturer here as well.

Right now, I am happy to say, that after a lot of missteps, Mesa was able to keep what it had all along. They need to start shooting for the long term deal which could secure MD's future here through 2033.
