St. Pete-Clearwater Airport to announce new carrier
St. Pete-Clearwater Airport to announce new carrier
Wednesday, September 19, 2007
CLEARWATER (Bay News 9) -- When airports work towards acquiring new airlines, the process is intense, competitive and secretive.
Such is the case for the St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport, which successfully went through that process and will announce a new carrier and flight service at the airport today.
The name of the airline, its destination and number of flights will be revealed today but airport officials said that any additional passenger service at the airport is seen as a positive.
The airport lost nearly a million passengers a year when ATA sold its gates to Southwest Airlines in 2005.
Since then, the airport has struggled to increase passenger service.
The airport currently has five passenger airlines, three which fly 22 domestic routes. Two others fly three international routes.
