This Is The Only U.S. State You Can’t Commercially Fly To
A U.S state recently became the one state in the country that you can not catch a commercial flight to.
The home to under one million people, the state of Delaware, earned this title in June 2022 when Frontier Airlines announced that they were ending service to the First State. A spokesperson for the airline said that the reason for cutting service was that “sufficient demand did not materialize to support the service.”
Even though there will no longer be any commercial flights to or from the state of Delaware, one airport within the state will be offering charter flights. New Castle Airport, which typically served the city of Wilmington, offers charters for what I can only assume will cost you a pretty penny. In a brief statement to local newspaper The Delaware News Journal, airport spokesperson Jim Salmon said that believes the airport’s commercial service “can and will survive” but he is “disappointed.”
Now without an airport that offers commercial airline services, Delaware residents who need to catch a flight now have two options: a 2 hour drive to an airport in the country’s capital of Washington D.C., or a 45 minute drive to the Philadelphia International Airport in Pennsylvania.
