Wilmington gets non-stop flight to DC

WILMINGTON, NC (THE GREATER WILMINGTON BUSINESS JOURNAL) – US Airways has announced a direct flight from Wilmington International Airport to Reagan National Airport serving Washington, D.C. – reports the Greater Wilmington Business Journal.

The flight will only run on weekends initially, though airport officials are hopeful that more flights could present themselves. Still, the weekend flight is a solid first step according to Jim Morton, the marketing director at ILM. “It’s great, we love it,” Morton said.

The first flight will depart on Saturday March 5. US Airways will use a 50 seat regional jet for the flight.
