Chairman and CEO Kerry Skeen said, "Since we started flying in
June, Independence Air has been winning new customers every day by
making air travel fast, easy and less expensive. Now, we're very
excited about bringing the same kind of experience to Huntsville."
He added, "For years, customers have been telling us they are tired
of getting ripped off by airlines that charge too much and have
complicated rules and restrictions. We agree that it's time for a
change. At Independence Air, we're not afraid to show you our
lowest and our highest fares -- so you can be sure you'll always
get a low fare, even when you have to book at the last minute." The
Independence Air hub at Washington Dulles is becoming the largest
low- fare hub in America -- with over 300 daily departures by the
time the Huntsville service begins. In addition to non-stop service
from Huntsville to Washington starting October 1st, Independence
Air will also offer a schedule of easy one-stop connections to 30
destinations, including Albany (NY), Boston, Buffalo, Burlington
(VT), Charleston (SC), Charleston (WV), Charlotte, Chicago,
Cleveland, Columbia (SC), Columbus (OH), Dayton, Detroit,
Greenville/Spartanburg, Hartford, Indianapolis, Lansing,
Louisville, Manchester (NH), Nashville, Newark, New York (JFK),
Norfolk, Pittsburgh, Portland (ME), Providence, Rochester (NY),
Stewart/Newburgh, Syracuse and White Plains (NY). Flights from
Huntsville to Washington will be aboard newly-upgraded 50- seat
iJETs with all-leather slimline seats that provide more legroom
than ever before. These aircraft offer several distinct advantages
for travelers: --Fast boarding and deplaning -- even the last row
clears in just a few minutes --Planeside carry-on baggage check-in
-- leave your carry-ons at the doorway of the aircraft and they'll
be there waiting for you when you arrive --No middle seats --
everyone gets either an aisle or window seat Independence Air will
also begin adding brand new 132-passenger Airbus A319s at
Washington Dulles this fall. The Airbus aircraft -- scheduled to
launch in November -- will grow to at least 28 A319s and allow
Independence Air to offer low-fare service from Washington to major
destinations in Florida, the Midwest and across the country to the
West Coast. Independence Air plans to add live satellite TV in
every seatback of its Airbus aircraft by next spring. With the
addition of the A319s, Independence Air will operate a fleet of at
least 115 jet aircraft by the first quarter of 2006. Parent company
Atlantic Coast Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACAI) is based in
Dulles, VA and employs over 4,200 aviation professionals. On
Wednesday, the company will change its name to FLYi, Inc., and its
ticker symbol to FLYI. Independence Air is the low-fare airline
that makes travel fast and easy for its customers with a
customer-first attitude, innovative thinking and a willingness to
challenge the status quo. INDEPENDENCE AIR FLIGHT SCHEDULE
