Only a few weeks after Delta Airlines made headlines for pulling its hub out of Memphis, low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines has announced that it will bring its service to Memphis International Airport in March of next year.

The Denver-based airline will offer four non-stop flights to Denver, as well as open connections to San Francisco, Seattle/Tacoma, Phoenix, San Diego, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Portland, and six other western cities.

“Today’s exciting announcement from Frontier Airlines is the beginning of a new era of affordable airfare choices for our passengers,” said Jack Sammons, chairman of the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority Board of Commissioners. “I am confident Frontier’s direct service to Denver will be warmly embraced by passengers in our region.”

Frontier is currently promoting discount fares as low as $69 for flights booked on their website through October 12th.

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – By late afternoon on Tuesday, there was still no sign of the 9-year-old Minneapolis boy who managed to sneak through security and a Delta ticket gate before landing in Las Vegas.

He made the move on Thursday, and on Tuesday, a judge in Nevada had heard his case.

“If there is no domicile in Nevada a child is usually transferred back to the state, their home state, where there’s further proceedings,” said presiding judge Cynthia Giuliani of Clark County Nevada. “I’m prohibited from speaking factually on any case that comes before me. These are very sensitive cases in the juvenile system.”

KARE 11 has confirmed that Hennepin County is investigating the case. Delta Airlines and the TSA continue their investigations into the incident to try and figure out how the boy sneaked through cracks in the security system.

“To think that some 9-year-old kid could sneak on a plane is appalling. It’s scary,” said Mike Scorti, of Cincinnati, who was waiting for the rest of his buddies to arrive at MSP before continuing on to a vacation.

“It might be good that it has happened because it’ll help maybe tighten security a little bit more and maybe we’ll learned from this young man, I don’t know,” Scorti’s friend Skip Campbell added.

Bill Whitaker reports on how a 9-year-old child outsmarted airport security and slipped aboard a Delta Airlines flight, flying from Minneapolis to Las Vegas.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Delta Airlines says a flight was diverted to Memphis International Airport because of a crack in a window.

In a statement, Delta says flight 557 was going from Detroit to Mexico City on Wednesday when crew members reported a small crack in one of the aircraft’s cockpit windows.

The Airbus A319 carrying 104 passengers and six crew members landed safely. No injuries were reported.

Delta says passengers were being placed on another flight.

Delta Airlines has agreed to operate a direct flight from Accra to Atlanta in the United States of America next year, following a request made by President John Mahama.

The company is also introducing one of its new airplanes on the Accra route, with effect from October 26.

The 210-seater ‘Business Class C’ airliner is equipped with facilities that will make travelling more convenient and entertaining for both business and economy class passengers on the route.

At a meeting with the top management of Delta Airlines Incorporated at the company’s headquarters in Atlanta, USA last Thursday, President Mahama indicated that passenger numbers in Ghana were growing. In that vein, he said Delta’s decision to operate direct flights came as good news to travellers, as currently, passengers travelling to Atlanta had to transit in New York or other longer routes before reaching their destination.

“We intend making Ghana the aviation hub in the West African sub-region, therefore, working together with you, we can achieve that dream,” President Mahama told the airline’s executives.

New airport

President Mahama stated that the government was conducting feasibility studies into the building of a new international airport about 30 kilometres out of the national capital, Accra, to ease pressure at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).

“Government has secured the land already and we are looking for expression of interest,” he stated, adding that “We are looking for partnership on a win-win situation.”

KIA refurbishment

In the meantime, he said the KIA was undergoing refurbishment including the introduction of air bridges and improving baggage and general services on the ground.

President Mahama informed the Delta officials that aviation fuel was becoming more competitive, stressing that extra facilities had been provided at the airport to avoid past glitches such as aviation fuel shortages.

He expressed appreciation to the senior officials of the airline for linking USA and Africa, stressing the need for Delta to reconsider more than one route to America, to enhance travelling convenience.

Delta MD

Responding, Mr Steve Long, a Managing Director of the company, said, “Ghana is a logical place to look at, considering the stable atmosphere for business.”

He stated that it would be helpful if aviation officials from the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority under-studied the operations of Delta in Atlanta, to tap their rich experience and expertise.

Mr Long also said the new Delta Airplane that would be operating in Ghana later this month was one of its newly refurbished airlines, saying that all the seats would have video strings at the back.

He expressed appreciation to the GCAA for working closely with the airline over the years, adding that the GCAA had ensured that it maintained standards in instances where there had been shortfalls and gave an assurance that Delta would further improve on its services.

President Mahama later toured the offices of the company, where he and his entourage received in-depth briefings on the airline’s operations.

He was accompanied by Mr Daniel Ohene-Agyekum, Ghana’s envoy to America; Kwame Tenkorang, Director of State Protocol; Mahama Ayariga, Minister of Information and Media Relations, and Mr Samuel Sarpong, Central Regional Minister.
