Macon gets second airline

A second airline is planning to start up flights from Macon to Atlanta on the 1st of November. Wings Air bills itself as a way to avoid traffic, parking, and security issues at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. The airline started flying from Athens to Atlanta this week. The flights from Macon to Atlanta start up in November. A one-way ticket is 79-dollars.
Atlantic Southeast Airlines is pulling out of Macon's Middle Georgia Regional Airport, saying that even with federal subsidies they are losing money. Hawaii based Pacific Wings recently contracted with the City of Macon to provide service and receive that subsidy. That service has yet to begin.
Both airlines plan to fly to Atlanta in propeller planes that hold nine passengers.
