Lambert-St. Louis International Airport welcomes Great Lakes Airlines as it begins flights next month between St. Louis and two regional destinations.
Tickets are now on sale for flights beginning Oct. 7, 2007 from Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri and Burlington, Iowa. These are two communities which lost service to Lambert after a previous carrier ceased operations in March.
Great Lakes Airlines will begin serving the two markets through an Essential Air Service contract that allows them to serve several other communities in the region in the near future.
“We look forward to working with Great Lakes Airlines and serving those small markets that need service,” said Richard Hrabko, Director of Lambert-St. Louis International Airport.
Great Lakes Airlines provides 200 weekday flights in nine states through three major hubs: Denver, Albuquerque and Phoenix Sky Harbor.
Lambert-St. Louis International Airport is the 33rd busiest airport in the U.S. as ranked by Aiports Council International-North America. Lambert serves more than 15 million passengers a year with 360 daily departures to 77 national and international destinations.
