Gwinnett to Hartsfield — Will it fly?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
All it takes is one good idea to hit pay dirt.
Wings Air, the Lawrenceville-based company that’s set to launch flights from Gwinnett’s local airport to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, may have one. For a flat rate of $79, a person can catch a one-way flight from the Gwinnett airport to the Atlanta one.
Wings Air President Charlie Mintz has said the service will appeal to businessmen and women who can afford the fee and dislike sitting in metro Atlanta’s maddening, unpredictable traffic.
But you know, I suspect there are plenty of everyday folk who would have no problem shelling out cash for a 15-minute ride to the airport, especially if Wings Air is able to arrange for security check points at the local airport. The company is working with the Transportation Security Administration on that.
The air shuttle service, which debuts with four flights daily, starts Feb. 1.
What do you think of this idea?
