Airtran to offer non-stop A.C.— Atlanta service.

EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP - Gov. Jon Corzine announced this morning that Airtran Airways will offer non-stop flights between Atlantic City International Airport and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport effective June 11.

The reach and convenience of the Atlanta hub will make it easier for residents of South Jersey to connect with a myriad of destinations.

"We could not be more pleased that Airtran will be providing air service out of Atlantic City International Airport," said Corzine. "The dynamic environment in Atlantic City and ongoing economic development in South Jersey has created the opportunity for Airtran to serve a market that has been eager for more convenient access to national air service. This new addition is a real boost for commerce and tourism in the Garden State."

In addition to the non-stop flights, Airtran connects to more than 35 destinations through Atlanta including Orlando, Los Angeles, and Dallas-Fort Worth.
