COLUMBUS, Ohio — Travelers booking trips out of John Glenn International Airport will soon have more choices when flying to three U.S. destinations.
The Columbus Regional Airport Authority announced that Southwest Airlines will expand service to San Diego. The airline, which previously only offered weekly flights to the Southern California city during the summer months, will move to near-daily departures. The schedule is set to change in October.
“San Diego has proven to be a popular destination, and this increased frequency addresses the strong demand since the route launched last year,” said Joseph R. Nardone, President and CEO of the Columbus Regional Airport Authority.
Other locations getting a boost in service from Southwest include Dallas Love Field, which will offer passengers a second daily departure, and Orlando service will increase to five flights per day.
Last month, the airline added launched a new route to Miami.
“We appreciate Southwest’s commitment to expanding service at John Glenn International and meeting the needs of our growing passenger base,” said Nardone.
