As of last Saturday, the airline company started their weekly regular service between Orlando’s International Airport and Aruba. Originally, this regular service was to start on Saturday, February 13th, but this date was moved up.
Orlando is the 13th airport from which flights are flown to Reina Beatrix airport. Prizefighter AirTran uses Boeing 737-700 aircrafts for the regular service with 125 economy class seats and 12 business class seats.
"Today is a good day", airport director Peter Steinmetz said last Saturday. "A new route to the United States is opened during the aftereffects of a tumultuous year." Orlando is a popular destination, according to the director. "The Orlando-route is very interesting as there are many potential passengers from Aruba wanting to fly to Disneyland and other amusement parks." Airline tickets can be booked through website www.airtran.com.
The airline company had already started a regular service between Aruban and Atlanta on December 19th, last, and now the second airline company flying to Aruba, besides Delta Air Lines. AirTran is a subsidiary of AirTran Holdings and offers business people cheaper flights. As one of the few large airline companies, the prizefighter offers wireless internet connection on every flight.
