DBIA adds new nonstop flights
Business at Daytona Beach International Airport is booming. The community will soon benefit from numerous announcements by the airport’s carriers as they expand services. Congressman John Mica announced on December 3 that US Airways is returning to Daytona Beach. US Airways will offer daily nonstop service to Charlotte beginning Feb. 1 with connecting service to dozens of cities.
AirTran announced nonstop daily service to New York’s LaGuardia Airport to begin Feb. 14. Delta Air Lines announced in late 2007 its new daily nonstop service to LaGuardia Airport that begins the same day. AirTran also is resuming its seasonal Baltimore service Feb. 9 which will operate on weekends.
Additionally, Continental Airlines upgraded equipment from two 50-passenger regional jets to larger Boeing 737 aircraft in April. And, New Smyrna Beach-based Vintage Props & Jets has added nonstop service to Tallahassee to Daytona Beach International Airport.
“This past year was phenomenal for our airport, and our passengers are the direct beneficiaries of all the exciting changes,” said Dennis McGee, DBIA Director of Aviation. “With four major carriers now, we are in a great position to offer competitive fares, and continue to be a leader in customer service and convenience. We have an exciting year ahead of us in 2008.”
