New Flights from Long Island MacArthur
To Washington D. C. Starting As Early As 2010
Islip, NY, October 2009 — Joined by Islip Town Supervisor Phil Nolan and Commissioner of Aviation Teresa Rizzuto, U. S. Senator Charles Schumer announced that a proposed deal between U.S. Airways and Delta Airlines would include adding new flights to Washington D.C. from Long Island MacArthur Airport (LIMA) starting as soon as 2010. Because the plan needs federal approval, Schumer is making a direct appeal to United States Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood asking him to approve the plan before the end of this year. “New flights from Long Island MacArthur Airport to our nation’s capital are going to be a huge boost for this outstanding airport and the entire Long Island economy,” said Schumer.
