Cheaper airfare to Orlando Florida became more of a possibility as new air service arrangements have been added to the Sanford Florida airport. These new carriers include Vision Airlines and the Dutch Airline TUI Netherlands to and from both international and domestic locations.
TUI Netherlands is a subsidiary of TUI who also operates Thomson Airways which already operates international flights from the Sanford airport. The new airline flight service operated by TUI from Sanford to Amsterdam Schiphol will run twice each week on Mondays and Fridays. A Boeing 767 will provide the service to over 280 travellers when the plane is at full capacity. According to TUI, this marks the first non-stop service between Orlando-Sanford and Amsterdam.
The second recent airlines service announcement was hailed by new Florida Governor Rick Scott. With great media fanfare, Governor Scott used the opportunity to emphasize that Florida is “open for business”. Vision Airlines, a domestic carrier based in Suwanee, Georgia will begin air service from Destin/Fort Walton Beach Florida to Orlando four times a week. Vision air currently offers commercial service to over 23 destinations. The new service to Destin from Orlando will also allow travellers to continue on to other mid-tier southern cities including Baton Rouge and Shreveport (LA), Little Rock (AR), and Columbia (SC).
