Drummond <br /> Vice President <br /> North Carolina Southern Bell Telephone <br /> 1010 Southern National Center <br /> Charlotte, North Carolina 28202 <br /> Dear Mr. Drummond: <br /> As a tenant of the Raleigh-Durham Airport, Delta Air Lines, <br /> Inc. , wishes- to express its desire to have an airport <br /> telephone exchange which would allow local calling on the <br /> same phone line between the airport and the nearby cities of <br /> Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. Such an exchange would <br /> offer much greater convenience to all telephone users in <br /> this area and would eliminate the need for so many lines and <br /> telephones within the airport. At present, a caller has to <br /> use a different telephone or different line to call any one <br /> of the three cities mentioned. This can be very confusing, <br /> especially to an "out-of-towner" who is not familiar with <br /> the geographical area. <br /> Delta Air Lines would like to see a central exchange created <br /> similar to those of the Dallas-Ft. Worth Airport and the <br /> Research Triangle Park. These two exchanges have proven to <br /> be very beneficial to the users in both locations and have <br /> been conducive to positive area growth. Delta would like to <br /> be able to have one telephone number for access by the <br /> public in the three-city region. <br /> Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> DELTA AIR LINES, INC. <br /> R.
