Brigantine Happy about United Airlines NEW Flights to AC.

Brigantine is very happy to read this press release…that United Airlines will offer new nonstop flights to Atlantic City, N.J., from Chicago and Houston.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and United CEO Jeff Smisek announced the service, which begins April 1, 2014.

“I thank Governor Christie for fostering a business-friendly climate that has enabled New Jersey to remain a critical hub for global aviation,” said Smisek. “United’s new Atlantic City service will drive business, tourism and economic development throughout the southern part of the state.”

“It speaks volumes that a company like United Airlines recognizes the full and future potential of Atlantic City International Airport,” said Gov. Christie. “The decision to bring air service to the seaside resort opens Atlantic City and ACY to the world while expanding travel service opportunities for the people of the South Jersey region.”
