Business Wire
Marks first commercial flights at Williamsport
Airport in over two years.
Surf Air Mobility Inc. (NYSE: SRFM) (“Surf Air”), a leading
regional air mobility platform, through its subsidiary airline,
Southern Airways (“Southern”), officially began Williamsport’s only
scheduled commuter service on Thursday, May 23, 2024 with a flight
between Williamsport Regional Airport (IPT) and Washington Dulles
International Airport (IAD). Via Washington Dulles, passengers can
connect to hundreds of worldwide destinations including Orlando,
Los Angeles, London, and Tokyo through commercial airline
partners.
To mark the launch of the area’s only commercial flights,
Southern Airways announces a fare sale, with fares starting at $99*
one-way. The flights are now open to the general public and can be
booked through iFlySouthern.com as well as from our partner
airlines at United.com, aa.com, and AlaskaAir.com.
The goal of this program is to provide Williamsport and
surrounding Lycoming County with easier, faster, and more
affordable connections through the convenient Williamsport Regional
Airport. With consistent daily service from this underutilized
regional airport adjacent to the city’s center, travelers traveling
to or from the greater D.C. area can now skip the multi-hour drive
and fly directly to or from Williamsport Regional Airport on one of
ten weekly flights.
“We are excited to welcome Southern Airways to our region,” said
Scott Metzger, Lycoming County Commissioner. “The hundreds of
businesses in our community will see immediate benefits in
reduction of travel time to other airports. We look forward to
their service of a ten county region including eight universities.
They have placed their faith in our region with flights to an
excellent hub in Dulles. It is now our responsibility to support,
utilize and promote to make this partnership a long and sustainable
success.”
“Welcome to Williamsport, Southern Airways,” said Richard C.
Howell, A.A.E., Executive Director Williamsport Municipal Airport
Authority/Williamsport Regional Airport. “We've brought frequent
air service back to our community, and we’re thrilled to welcome
more passengers to our brand-new terminal.”
At Washington Dulles, Southern uses the convenient H gates,
allowing local passengers to avoid the airport’s mobile bus and
train with a simple walk to ground transportation.
The agreement with Williamsport establishes a funding stream
from the use of locally acquired grants coupled with community
donations to mitigate risk to Surf Air.
“Having the support of the community made this launch possible,
and we’re excited and honored to help connect Williamsport with the
broader aviation infrastructure,” said Deanna White, Interim CEO
and COO of Surf Air Mobility.
The flights are operated by Southern Airways Express, the
airline subsidiary of Surf Air Mobility.
Schedules are timed for both local passengers to and from
Washington, DC, as well as connections beyond.
