Daily nonstop flights give Milwaukee travelers convenient service to South Beach
MILWAUKEE (October 5, 2017) – Frontier Airlines launched its new daily nonstop service from Milwaukee County’s General Mitchell International Airport (MKE) to Miami International Airport with a celebration in the gate area this morning.
“As we get closer to winter, many travelers ensure their beach vacations are planned, and these new flights from Frontier give our community great access to Miami,” County Executive Chris Abele said. “I’m confident that Frontier will be successful in this market. Many cruise ships depart from Miami, and South Beach is a dynamic year-round destination.”
“Today we introduce a new, more affordable way to travel for the Milwaukee community,” said Tim Polgar, Director of Ground Handling Contracts – Frontier Airlines. “We’re offering not only amazing low fares, but a reliable and friendly service that allows customers to customize their travel experience to their needs and their budget. This empowers more people than ever before to fly. This is what our Low Fares Done Right philosophy is all about.”
Frontier’s string of new Milwaukee flights continues with Tampa starting up on November 10 and increased daily service to Fort Myers beginning December 10.
Frontier’s ultra-low fares are only available online at flyfrontier.com. In addition to the new service to Miami, Frontier also offers nonstop service from MKE to Denver, Las Vegas, Orlando and Phoenix.
Mitchell Airport offers nonstop flights to 49 destinations coast-to-coast, and 160 international destinations are available from Milwaukee with just one connection. MKE is also served by Air Canada, Alaska, Allegiant, American, Delta, OneJet, Southwest, United and Volaris. The nonstop cities map can be found at www.mitchellairport.com.
General Mitchell International Airport is owned by Milwaukee County and operated by the Department of Transportation, Airport Division, under the policy direction of the Milwaukee County Executive and the County Board of Supervisors. The airport is entirely funded by user fees; no property tax dollars are used for the airport’s capital improvements or for its day-to-day operation.
Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
