June 11--Coming off the inaugural Charleston to Philadelphia flight last week, Yeager Airport officials discussed more new direct flight options at a board meeting Wednesday. Specifically, airport officials are working with airlines to restore direct flights to Florida and any of the three main New York City airports. Last September, the airport received a $700,000 Small Community Air Service Development grant, which will help pay for marketing and startup expenses for a new Florida flight. Now it needs an airline. "The good news is two airlines have responded and asked us for more information," said Priscilla Haden, a board member who leads the marketing committee. Until the summer of 2012, AirTran Airways provided direct air service to Florida from Yeager. However, when Southwest Airlines bought AirTran, the service was dropped, despite the flight performing very well. Then there's New York City. Like the Florida route, Yeager previously had direct service to New York City on American airlines.
