New AirTran flights from Des Moines to Orlando
AirTran Airways is to launch a new service from Des Moines International Airport (DSM) to Orlando, with the Iowa city becoming the 43rd served by the airline from the central Florida destination.
The service will begin on Saturday 6 March 2010, with AirTran’s Wi-Fi equipped Boeing 717s. AirTran will be the only carrier offering non-stop service between the two airports.
"AirTran Airways is very excited to begin service from Des Moines to one of the nation's most popular tourist destinations," said Kevin Healy, senior vice-president of marketing and planning for AirTran Airways. "We look forward to offering our low-cost, high-quality product from central Iowa to our hometown of Orlando."
In addition to this new service to Orlando, AirTran Airways announced earlier this month that its marketing partner, SkyWest Airlines, will also be offering non-stop service from Des Moines to Milwaukee.
"We are privileged to welcome AirTran Airways back to central Iowa and excited that they have already decided to expand their announced service at DSM," said Craig Smith, aviation director, Des Moines International Airport. "We hope this is just the beginning of a growing partnership as AirTran Airways serves many markets important to central Iowa air travellers."
