Second Flight From Tri-Cities to Phoenix Coming Soon

Less than three months ago the Tri-Cities Airport announced a new flight with a new partner.  American Airlines' maiden flight from Pasco would connect to their hub in Phoenix, AZ, Sky Harbor International Airport.  One flight a day between the cities has run daily since February.

Since that time, the route has become so popular that American Airlines will be expanding their offering to Phoenix this fall.  Buck Taft, Director of Tri-Cities Airport said

Phoenix, with its easy connectivity to Latin America and the entire American Airlines network, has quickly proven popular for the Tri-Cities region.
