Southern Airways Express begins flying out of McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport
Jackson, TENNESSEE – It was a homecoming of sorts for Stan Little, who serves as the Chairman and CEO of Southern Airways Express.
Little, a Humboldt native, who founded Southern Airways Express, saw his airline begin flying out of McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport, Wednesday.
“A successful airport is the hallmark of a successful city,” Little said, “If you are going to have a city that is growing and vibrant and adding new things and bringing in new people – you’ve got to have a vibrant airport, and that’s what Southern’s goal is – here in Jackson.”
Little, who disliked flying on commercial airlines, has seen Southern Airways Express increase from two airplanes and three pilots to 47 cities after its beginning June 6, 2013.
Little said a list was compiled that consisted of ideas of what could be done to make people want to fly again – to make the process of getting there just as important and enjoyable as being there.
“Nine years later, we have seen the success of those commitments – on-time performance, reliability doing what you say you are going to do,” Little said, “Doing it on an affordable fare, greeting people with a smile when they are having a bad day when they walk up to the counter… all those things matter.
“We’re looking forward to providing Jackson, Tennessee, my hometown, with three flights a day to the world’s busiest airport (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport).”
The U.S. Department of Transportation selected Southern Airways Express LLC (Southern Airways) to provide Essential Air Service (EAS) at Jackson, Tennessee for a two-year period from June 1, 2022, to May 31, 2024.
