Number of Tulsa’s direct flights increases
4.4.2011Tulsa International Airport has increased its number of direct flights with a new, nonstop service between Tulsa and Washington, D.C. The United Express flight will provide service to the nation’s capitol through Washington Dulles International Airport.
United formally launched the new flight today with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
Tulsa International Airport Director Jeff Mulder acknowledged the importance of the new service, not only as the eighth most popular regional destination for Tulsa travelers but also because of the international connections from Washington Dulles.
The new flight will operate daily and increases Tulsa International Airport’s non-stop service to 17 cities. The increase assists VisitTulsa, the Chamber’s convention and visitors program, in selling Tulsa and is a boon to the Chamber’s economic development division’s business recruitment efforts.
“Tulsa offers companies numerous reasons to relocate or grow a business, and its central location is integral to attracting businesses to the region,” said Jim Fram, the Chamber’s senior vice president of economic development. “Direct flights provide companies and their clients a convenient, affordable opportunity for business travel.”
