With the departure of Great Lakes Airlines flight #3021 from the Salina Regional Airport on June 15th at 7:45 AM, Salina area residents again have access to scheduled air service. The restoration of nonstop flights to the Denver International Airport benefits residents and businesses in Salina, Saline County and North Central Kansas.

“The Salina market looks very promising and we expect to see a quick increase in passenger boardings “stated Great Lakes president Chuck Howell. Howell added, “Salina passengers will be pleased with the comfort and speed of our 30 seat Embraer Brasilia regional aircraft.”

For travel beyond Denver, Great Lakes is a United Airlines code share partner which enables Salina passengers the opportunity to connect with United Airlines flights at the airline’s Denver hub.
