DELTA AIRLINES CONNECTS SPRINGFIELD TO ATLANTA

Beginning in December, Delta will establish direct service to Springfield from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.  ATL moved more than 83 millions passengers in 2004 making it not only the busiest airport in the nation but also the entire world.

Delta Airlines already serves Springfield via Cincinnati and this past July added service to their hub in Salt Lake City.  The Atlanta route will initially run as two daily flights on a 50-seat regional jet but will add more flights if passenger numbers demand it. 

Springfield-Branson Regional Airport now connects to 12 different U.S. cities and 7 of the 11 busiest airports across the nation.
