Airport Executive Director Richard Howell, A.A.E. has issued a statement in light of American Airlines recent announcement regarding impending future flight service from the Williamsport Regional Airport.
“The move by American Airlines to include the Williamsport Regional Airport on their list of possible air service suspensions is obviously disappointing. Only two days ago we celebrated a new direction and improvement to the region for air travelers with our American Airlines Charlotte flights. In the month of July, even before having these flights, our enplanement levels averaged 52%, nearly double the number of passengers checked through TSA security on a national level. Our regional airport has made great strides in coming back after the initial surge of the COVID 19 pandemic. The business people and the leisure travelers of the region have shown they are poised to work and recreate in the new, cleaner, refined environments of our socially distanced and proactively cleaned facilities. Our airport can service a 10-county area with a population of nearly half a million people and it is vital to our region that we continue to be able to service our region.”
