A steady rain provided the backdrop, but U.S. Representative David Kustoff (R-Memphis) sees brighter days ahead for Jackson and the West Tennessee, after Air Choice One began offering daily flights from McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport to Atlanta, Thursday.

“It’s good to be back to be back in Madison County (Thursday) for the announcement of Air Choice One (and) the additional flights now to Atlanta,” Kustoff said. “We’ve got to support air service in Madison County (and) out of Madison County – at least greater economic development, and economic opportunities.

“I hope this flight, coupled with the tax reform that we passed with the help of President Trump last year, will pay dividends for Madison County and West Tennessee.”

Air Choice One will offer six flights each week out of McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

The 1.5 hour flight will leave Jackson at Noon, Monday through Friday, with a return flight from Atlanta scheduled for 3:30 p.m., Eastern time.

Air Choice One will leave Jackson at 9 a.m., Sunday, and a return flight will leave Atlanta at 12:30 p.m., Eastern time.

Air Choice One, which began serving Jackson and West Tennessee in 2015, continues to offer three round trip flights, Monday through Friday, from Jackson to Lambert-St. Louis International Airport.
One flight is offered each Saturday and two flights on Sundays.
