Independence Air Chairman and CEO Kerry Skeen said, "The strong
positive reaction we're getting to the introduction of Independence
Air is a clear signal that people are really excited about
welcoming a competitive new low- fare airline to
Greenville-Spartanburg. We've said from the very beginning that
Independence Air would challenge the status quo by creating a new
kind of air travel experience that is fast, easy and always
low-fare -- even when you have to travel at the last minute. Now,
starting tomorrow, we finally get to make good on that promise."
The Independence Air hub at Washington Dulles will be the largest
low-fare hub in America by later this summer -- with 300 daily
departures. In addition to non-stop service from
Greenville-Spartanburg to Washington starting tomorrow, by later
this summer Independence Air will also offer a schedule of easy

Flights from Greenville-Spartanburg to Washington will be aboard
newly- upgraded 50-seat iJETs with all-leather slimline seats that
provide more legroom than ever before. These aircraft offer several
distinct advantages for travelers: -- Fast boarding and deplaning
-- even the last row clears in just a few minutes -- No middle
seats -- everyone gets either an aisle or window seat -- Planeside
carry-on baggage check-in -- leave your carry-ons at the doorway of
the aircraft and they'll be there waiting for you when you arrive
