Free Service at BGR A Result of Business Collaboration
Bangor International Airport’s new free Wi-Fi is the result of their collaboration with the Four Points by Sheraton and Premium Choice Broadband. While other airports throughout the region and the country charge for their WiFi service, BGR worked diligently to ensure that wireless internet service is available at no cost.
“We wanted to offer free Wi-Fi to the traveling public and especially for the many troops passing through Bangor. Most proposals we received were beyond our budget. Then we asked the Sheraton about extending their Wi-Fi” stated Rebecca Hupp, Airport Director. She continued, “We were very pleased that the Four Points by Sheraton was ready to work with us to accomplish our goal. Then a conversation with Premium Choice Broadband, a local high-speed internet provider, completed the necessary elements to have these new amenities available for our passengers at no cost. This is part of the Airport’s ongoing efforts to provide the best facilities and amenities possible for our passengers.”
Vivian Cammack, General Manager for the Four Points Sheraton at Bangor Airport stated, “We were pleased to work with Bangor International Airport on this important project helping to promote our facilities. The new $4 million dollar addition at the airport, along with the Four Points $9 million dollar renovation, improves the appearance and functionality of the facilities and makes Bangor Airport passenger-friendly with new high speed technology.”
Bangor International Airport is a full-service regional airport offering non-stop, affordable flights to Boston, Detroit, JFK, Newark, Orlando, Philadelphia, and seasonal non-stop flights to Minneapolis, New York’s LaGuardia and Washington, DC.
