Lansing Chamber, Airport urges support for American Airlines bid
Members of the Capital Regional Airport Authority joined Lansing officials and business leaders to urge the community to support American Airlines’ bid to begin service from Lansing to Washington D.C. once Sun Country discontinues its flights in October.
“There’s a tremendous opportunity to fill the void left by Sun Country and bring in new, expanded travel options,” said Chris Holman, who chairs the CRAA.
American Airlines would offer daily, nonstop service from Lansing’s Capital Region International Airport to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Nov. 5 if the Federal Aviation Administration and the U.S. Department of Transportation approve its application. It would also offer three daily flights to Chicago O’Hare International Airport, starting in early 2016.
