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.

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.

Possible air shuttle to Atlanta airport

Georgians may soon be able to avoid fighting traffic to Atlanta’s airport by flying there. A Gwinnett County air shuttle company is seeking approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to start flights. Wings Air would be the first air shuttle between the Gwinnett County Airport and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Flights could be running by next year. Fares could range between $50 and $100.
