An Omaha Airport Authority executive talks about the recent announcements that two airlines are adding flights at Eppley Airfield.
"The opportunity to add airline business here in Omaha is really a reflection of a growing business and leisure travel market here in Omaha," says Chief Information and Development Officer Steve McCoy. "So that's really good news for all Omaha and eastern Nebraska travellers."
Earlier this week, "Allegiant" and "American" announced they will add new service between Omaha and Austin, Texas and New York City respectively.
McCoy says it's a market decision by airlines, but they do constantly communicate with airlines about opportunities at the Omaha airport.
