Fort Myers flights … up or down?
October 21st, 2008 at 07:35pm Thomas V. Bona
WIFR is reporting that the airline looking to start flights from Rockford to the Fort Myers, Fla., area has said no “because of market conditions.” But airport honchos Bob O’Brien and Mike Dunn both tell me that’s news to them - that the airline hasn’t said no to them yet. O’Brien said tonight that he even talked to airline officials today and felt like RFD still had a shot at the long-sought service this winter.
I have a guess at which airline it is, but can’t share that yet. They haven’t returned my calls, so I don’t know that they’re talking publicly. I’ll monitor the story and let you know when I find out more…

I’m guessing that the direct air service to Ft. Myers will be to a former Skybus airport.
There are actually two guesses in the previous sentence.

I will not name the airline but have a guess as to who it is. I agree with Jason, a former Skybus airport would be highly likely.

Mood lighting, anyone?
