US Airways announces details of its recent Department of Transportation (DOT) award to operate new service from Washington, D.C. A new year-round, daily routing between Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and Sarasota Bradenton International Airport will begin August 15.
US Airways Senior Vice President Public Affairs C.A. Howlett said, We are thrilled to offer this new service that links Washington, D.C.`s premier airport with a great Florida destination. Our quest to provide this service received support from both communities and we are extremely grateful for that support.
Sarasota Bradenton International Airport President and Chief Executive Officer Fredrick J. Piccolo added, We are very pleased with the addition of Washington Reagan non-stop service to SRQ. Washington, D.C. is a great market for us with strong inbound and outbound demand. We believe the service will do exceedingly well. We appreciate the confidence of US Airways and I know they join me in our admiration for the wide range of support the application received. We particularly appreciate the efforts in Washington from our Senators Nelson and Martinez, as well as Congressman Harris, Congressman Davis, and Congressman Mica. Governor Bush and many local government bodies, business leaders, tourism officials and interested citizens also communicated their support to the DOT and the airport is very grateful.
The only non-stop pairing between Reagan and Sarasota/Bradenton, US Airways Express carrier Republic Airways will operate the daily round-trip with the 72-passenger Embraer jet.
