New flight is set to begin in Spring 2023
Louisville, KY (December 29, 2022) – Delta Air Lines is expanding its reach from the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) with new, nonstop service to Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) beginning in Spring 2023. The new daily flight will launch on Monday, May 8, 2023 – just in time for the summer travel season.
“This news from Delta is a great way to close out the year,” said Dan Mann, Executive Director of the Louisville Regional Airport Authority. “We welcome their investment and support with more options at SDF, which speak very highly to the strength of our market and interest from area travelers.”
The new flight gives the region’s travelers even more opportunities to reach the Northeast to support a variety of key industries including healthcare and the growing tech sector. It also showcases a strong desire from travelers in the Boston-area to visit Louisville – known for its bourbon experiences, culinary scene and wide array of local attractions. Plus, the flight will improve international connectivity, making it even easier to reach Paris, Amsterdam, London, Lisbon, Edinburgh, Dublin and Seoul from SDF.
“Congratulations to Delta Air Lines for expanding their reach from Louisville,” added Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer. “Dan and the SDF team continue to build on their momentum in recent years as they bring even more options for air travel our community. This is another boost to the city’s economic efforts and provides a great way for Bostonians to experience the hometown of The Champ.”
The new flight will be offered on a 76-seat Embraer 175 complete with multiple seating options including First Class, Delta Comfort+ and economy.
The aircraft is equipped with Wi-Fi and provides in-seat power outlets to those in First Class and Delta Comfort+.
With the addition of Boston, Delta offers nonstop service to five destinations from Louisville including Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis and New York-LaGuardia.
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.
