 NEW FLIGHT, COMPETITIVE FARES

ADDED AT WILLIAMSPORT

 

      Jeff Corson, US Airways Express Station Manager at Williamsport announced today that US Airways Express is adding a fourth daily flight between Philadelphia International Airport and Williamsport.  Effective June 6, 2004, Flight 2429 will depart Philadelphia at 10:10 AM and arrive at the local airport at 11:00 AM.  The return flight will depart Williamsport at 11:25 AM and arrive in Philadelphia at 12:15 PM.  The new flight will operate 7 days a week.

      Corson stated “Recently US Airways adjusted our airfare price structure making us very competitive with other regional airports, including Harrisburg and State College.  We expect to see improvement in passenger activity because of good pricing.  Additionally, the airline will now have 4 of the larger, more comfortable, 37 seat Dash 8 aircraft serving the Philadelphia route”.   He said that US Airways revamped service between the two cities late last year, after a brief hiatus.  A year ago at this time, he noted, the airline served the route with two daily flights, 6 days a week, using 19 seat aircraft. 

      Corson said “This is good news because Philadelphia has become an important hub city for US Airways operations”.  He pointed out that 187 cities are served from the US Airways hub in Philadelphia, including Europe, the Caribbean, and Canada, in addition to domestic destinations.   Regarding service through the Pittsburgh InternationaI Airport, Corson  said US Airways has replaced the 30 seat Saab 340 aircraft on the Pittsburgh – Williamsport route with a mix of 37 passenger Dash 8 and 32 passenger Dornier 328 aircraft.  He added that service to Pittsburgh remains at 4 round trips daily, Sunday through Friday and three on Saturday.

       “With more flights, competitive prices, larger planes and better schedule times, I think airline service now is the best it has ever been at Williamsport,” Corson said.  The airport, located in Montoursville reported that in 2003, 62,346 passengers utilized airline services at the facility.
