AirTran New Service to Portland, Maine

AirTran Airways recently launched service at Portland International Jetport in Maine. AirTran will now offer three daily roundtrip flights between Portland and Baltimore/Washington, with one Saturday roundtrip flight to Orlando beginning June 9, 2007.

From the press release, “AirTran Airways is proud to bring low-fare service to the residents of Portland,” said Paul Clements, general sales manager for AirTran Airways. “Business and leisure travelers alike will snap up our low prices and appreciate the amenities our airline has to offer, including free XM Satellite Radio at every seat and EasyFit overhead bins with plenty of storage space for carry-on bags.”
