Southwest Airlines announced it will begin flying from Atlanta to Norfolk and Louisville starting Aug. 12.
The Dallas-based carrier, which will launch service in Atlanta next month, said among the new flights it will launch later this year are three daily nonstop flights each to Norfolk and Louisville from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
Southwest is adding the routes even as it announces cuts of flights operated by AirTran Airways, which Southwest acquired last year. The airline last week announced AirTran will stop flying to White Plains, N.Y. and Sarasota, Fla. from Atlanta effective Aug. 12, as part of a broader pullout of several AirTran-served cities. AirTran is the second-largest carrier at Hartsfield-Jackson, behind Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines.
