GEORGIA SKIESIn May 2008, Pacific Wings, of Hawaii, won the Essential Airline Service subsidy to replace ASA at Macon, GA and US Airways Express at Athens, GA. In June the company began flying between Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and both cities as Georgia Skies using 9-passenger, single-engine Cessna Caravans. Fares were $39 on both routes, which were also both served by Wings Air.Georgia Skies Cessna 208B Grand Caravans on the ramp at Atlanta on December 29, 2008.

In October 2009, Georgia Skies secured a gate, E-37, at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport. Passengers had previously been bussed to the terminal from the general aviation ramp, requiring inbound connecting passengers to recheck their bags and go through TSA security screenings a second time. Fares are still only $39. I may have to try that! NEXT AIRLINE: GP EXPRESS BACK TO GALLERY INDEX KATL KMCN KAHN |
