Despite plans to return this spring, AirTran Airways will not be serving Burlington International Airport this year. According to a story in the Burlington Free Press, AirTran informed airport officials of its decision last week, citing a lack of equipment and too many other commitments.
After cancelling service to the airport last September, AirTran had planned to resume flights out of Burlington in the spring of this year. The airline provided a direct flight from Burlington to Baltimore. Although nonstop flights are still available to Washington, DC through United and US Airways, the cost for these services is higher.
AirTran has expanded to other markets, including Grand Rapids, MI. The airline's return to Burlington will be revisited in 2011.
AirTran will not resume service at BTV in 2010
