Macon gets second airline

Over the weekend a second airline began flying from Macon to Atlanta.
Wings Air follows Georgia Skies that began flying out of Macon in September. Wings Air also flies from Athens to Atlanta. The airline uses nine-passenger planes to make the thirty minute flight.
Wings Air just reached an agreement with American Airlines to handle its ground operations at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. The airline flies into Atlanta using the "T" gates.
Right now Wings Air only accepts carry on baggage. The two airlines replace Atlantic Southeast Airlines that pulled out of Macon citing a lack of passengers.
