Tim Maharrey says he and other managers for foam maker Woodbridge FoamPartner fly between Chattanooga and Toronto about 10 times a year.
In turn, top management at the company’s Canadian and Zurich, Switzerland, offices make fairly frequent return trips each year, the local general manager said.
“It’s all done out of Chattanooga,” Maharrey said.
A new Brookings Institution study shows that such international travel in and out of Chattanooga Airport rose 34.3 percent from 2003 to 2011.
