Port Columbus Adds New Service to Florida, DC

By: Walker


Port Columbus is getting four new service increases later this year from four separate airlines:

  • AirTran will be adding a second daily flight to Fort Myers starting on November 4th.
  • American Airlines is adding two additional daily lights to Miami, starting on November 18th.
  • Delta will resume their nonstop service to Washington DC with three daily flights to the Washington Ronald Reagan National Airport starting on October 31st. Additionally, they’re offering a $79 one-way introductory fare for ticket purchased prior to Aug 13th for flights between Oct 31st and Dec 16th.
  • And last but not least, Southwest Airlines is adding a third daily flight to Orlando, starting on November 7th.

  • If only Port Columbus was “big enough” to host more direct flights to San Francisco and other west coast cities. Oh wait…this was possible with Sky bus…lol

    Oh Sky Bus, if only your venture had come 3 years before or 3 years after the dismantle of your “company”.

  • “Big enough?” I don’t think size of the airport matters for that, right? Delta recently added service to LAX, so I imagine SFO or other west coast destinations could do the same. It sounds like it’s more of a cost/demand situation if anything.

    I do think that Skybus had a good idea with flying into secondary airports though. They actually flew into Oakland instead of San Francisco, which kept their costs lowered. Would love to see another local airline try something similar. Except without the failed $10 gimmick. ;)

  • Agreed. Ya I meant OAK airport ;) Which was smart and you could get into SF via BART (which if you haven’t taken BART or MUNI, you should when visiting SF ;) )
