AIRLINES TO PROVIDE ENHANCED FLIGHT SCHEDULES

MARQUETTE, Michigan – Local demand for more seats and additional flight options pays off! 

Passengers utilizing Sawyer Airport will now have mid-day seat availability on both American Airlines and Delta Air Lines.

American Airlines has announced plans to add a 1:40 p.m. departure to Chicago O’Hare effective June 12, 2013.  Two Saturday flights will also be added, providing greater flexibility in scheduling.

Delta Air Lines previously announced plans to add a third daily departure to Detroit effective March 2, 2013.  

“We’ve made our case . . . and the airlines have positively responded,” comments Duane DuRay, Airport Manager.   “Now it’s up to the community.  Ridership and load factors will determine how long we maintain these schedules.”

“Much of Sawyer’s progress can be attributed/credited to those customers who continue to book flights from Sawyer.  We thank the community for their support and loyalty in considering Sawyer first before using alternate airports,” states Steve Schenden, Director of Operations. 

Conveniently located in your own back yard, Sawyer continues to be a great place to begin and end your journey.  Come Home to Sawyer!
