CONCORD, MA -- The cutback of airline routes and increased fares are fueling travelers search for viable options to traditional travel offerings. Linear Air, a provider of point-to-point air service from the mid-Atlantic region through eastern Canada, makes the travel experience easier and more enjoyable for those traveling to and from Maine by leaving from and arriving at regional airports.
This fall, there will be an estimated 20 million fewer seats on U.S. domestic flights, according to the Official Airline Guide. While the cutbacks are global, the U.S. appears to be bearing the brunt of the downturn, with a 7% decline in September and continued declines in both October and November. In the U.S., 32 airports will lose scheduled air service altogether. Riding on the wave of change in the commercial airline industry, Linear Air is actively promoting its services at many airports in Maine: Auburn/Lewiston Airport, Augusta State Airport, Bangor International Airport, Hancock County Airport, Caribou Municipal Airport, Millinocket Municipal Airport, Pittsfield Municipal Airport, Portland International Jetport Airport and Northern Maine Airport.
Linear Air provides:
- Service to and from Millinocket Municipal Airport and other regional and commercial airports throughout Maine
- Arrival and departure times that are based on the customer’s schedule
- Flights that are pay-as-you-go and all inclusive, with no baggage or fuel surcharges
"Travelers around the country are rethinking how to get from point A to point B in an efficient way that allows them to maximize their business or vacation schedules," said Linear Air CEO Bill Herp. "Linear Air recognizes the tremendous opportunity to serve Maine travelers and ultimately save them frustration and missed business or vacation time resulting from inconvenient travel schedules. We fly where they need to, when they need to, right from a nearby airport.
Linear Air serves 10 times more airports than the traditional commercial airlines serve and can provide direct and on-demand service for customers, saving the time, headache and expense of commercial airports. Trips are tailored to meet the needs of business and leisure travelers. Arrival and departure times are based on the customer's schedule, eliminating time spent waiting in airports and preventing additional hotel costs for overnight stays. Flights are pay-as-you-go and all inclusive, with no baggage or fuel surcharges.
