Friday, February 26th 2010Beginning March 15, 2010, air travellers can take advantage of weekly non-stop flights between the two destinations. With ideal scheduled flights times, travellers to Portland will have the opportunity to make many connections into larger US centres.
“Restoring regular air service to Portland is great news for Yarmouth, the region and the province, and demonstrates our commitment to making Yarmouth International Airport a viable air transportation hub in southwestern Nova Scotia,” says David Rankin, executive director, Yarmouth International Airport Corporation (YIAC). “After a slight interruption in service, we’ve found an excellent partner in Twin Cities Air Service, who share our view of the economic feasibility of the Yarmouth to Portland air route.”
“As a fixed-based, full-service air carrier, the Yarmouth to Portland route fits perfectly with our business model,” adds Nate Humphrey, president of Twin Cities Air Service. “Having been a charter company for years, customers will enjoy the benefit of our flexibility in scheduling flights. Passengers will also enjoy the efficiencies and comforts of our modern aircraft. We’re thrilled to be working with YIAC, and are certain this partnership will create even more opportunities going forward.”
Service between Yarmouth International Airport and Portland International Jetport onboard Twin Cities Air Service begins March 15, 2010, with non-stop, conveniently timed weekly flights scheduled each Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Round-trip flights are economically priced, starting at just $400 per person, plus taxes.
The Portland International Jetport also welcomes announcement of this new service. “Regular air service between Yarmouth and Portland will appeal to both business and leisure passengers and strengthens the already strong connection between Nova Scotia and Maine,” notes Paul Bradbury, director of the Portland International Jetport. “Both the Jetport and Yarmouth International offer excellent facilities, competitive fares and convenience for travellers on both sides of the border.”
