WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) –
Officials with Wilmington International Airport (ILM) announced Monday that American and Delta airlines will offer additional non-stop flights beginning this spring.

American Airlines will begin offering a non-stop flight to New York (LGA) on Feb. 12. Delta Airlines plans to offer an additional non-stop flight to Atlanta (ATL) beginning May 1 and will re-instate a non-stop flight to LGA on June 5.

The re-instatement of Delta’s non-stop flight to LGA will increase service to New York to three daily non-stop flights which will add the early morning departure time back to ILM’s schedule. After June 5, the LGA departures will be 6 a.m. (Delta), 10:55 a.m. (American), and 5:35 p.m. (American).

The additional Delta flight to ATL will increase service to Atlanta to six daily non-stop flights.

“We know that convenience is very important to our passengers,”  said Gary Broughton, ILM’s Operations Director. “And we are very pleased to announce this increase in service. ILM’s current non-stop flights to LaGuardia and Atlanta average 80% load factors and we anticipate that the additional flights will provide a much needed increase in available seats and departure options, particularly for our business travelers.”

These new flights are available for booking via their respective carrier’s website.
