AirTran Airways today
announced the launch of nonstop service between Milwaukee, Wisconsin and New
Orleans.
The new nonstop to New
Orleans begins October 7, 2010. AirTran operates a Boeing 717 with 117
seats and a Boeing 737 that seats 137 in mixed class configurations.
The AirTran Airways
announcement will increase their daily non-stop destinations from New Orleans
to three. The other cities served directly are Atlanta and
Baltimore/Washington. Milwaukee serves as a mini-hub for AirTran which opens
on-going service to the Midwest on their carriers.
"We are very
pleased with AirTran’s increasing presence in our market. Their
announcement of new non-stop service to Milwaukee marks their second new
destination added in a twelve month period. Milwaukee is a key city to add to
the roster of destinations served from Armstrong because it provides more
connecting opportunities, and therefore more choices for travelers to and from
the New Orleans region,” stated Dan Packer, Chairman, New Orleans Aviation
Board.
The Airport has ongoing
dialogue and face-to-face meetings with airlines now serving the New Orleans
market as well as those who potentially could serve it to deliver the message
that New Orleans continues to be a vibrant city with a growing demand for air
service.
