PTI gains low-fare, non-stop flights from Silver Airways
Piedmont Triad International Airport will try its luck with another low-fare carrier serving two familiar Southeast destinations. The airport said that Silver Airways, based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, will begin on June 30. “There should now be good market potential for an affordable, no-frills airline offering service to these markets from PTI,” said marketing professor Roger Beahm. “Airline travelers are keenly aware that ticket prices have been going up even faster than the rate of inflation this year.

Duke Energy’s strategy aligns in some ways with the proposed new rules because the new gas-powered plants will also be capable of operating on clean-burning hydrogen, said Stan Meiburg, a former deputy administrator at the EPA who now directs Wake Forest’s graduate program in sustainability. “If you want to take a natural gas approach, this (proposed) standard says you can do that but you have to put in technology to control carbon emissions.”

Wake Forest graduates more than 2,000 at Monday’s commencement
Commencement speaker Kathy Killian Noe (’80), who has spent her life providing “radical hospitality” to people living in the margins, encouraged graduates to go out into the world and use their power for good.
