Delta to Launch Service Between Lambert-St. Louis International Airport and New York-LaGuardia ST. LOUIS (SLFP.com), May 12, 2010 - Delta Airlines has announced it will launch new non-stop service between Lambert-St. Louis International Airport and LaGuardia Airport in New York beginning September 7, 2010. The New service will operate four daily flights on Embraer 175 jets, which offers a two class configuration for up to 76 passengers. Ê "We're pleased to grow our partnership with Delta with the expansion of flights and destinations for the St. Louis region," said Lambert Director Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge. "Delta's new service to New York LaGuardia is great news for St. Louis travelers, especially the business community which will benefit from the frequent daily flights to this key destination." "As a significant center of commerce in the Midwest, St. Louis is a natural addition to Delta's service at New York-LaGuardia," said Hank Halter, Delta's chief financial officer. "Delta's St. Louis customers will enjoy nonstop service to New York's preferred airport for business travelers, taking advantage of LaGuardia's convenient location." The new flights will complement Delta's existing service between St. Louis and New York-JFK, which will continue to provide travelers with convenient connections to cities worldwide from Delta's international gateway. The new service is Delta's latest improvement in St. Louis. The airline recently added additional flights between St. Louis and its Salt Lake City hub, providing convenient connections to West Coast cities as well as international destinations, including Tokyo. Delta has also upgraded its service on flights to key hubs including Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis- St. Paul and Salt Lake City, adding larger regional and mainline aircraft that offer First Class cabins. Delta, which traces its history in St. Louis to 1934, this summer will offer 34 peak-day flights at Lambert, with service to eight cities, including all seven of its U.S. hubs, which offer convenient one-stop service to popular destinations including Los Angeles, Seattle, Denver and Washington, D.C.
ST. LOUIS, MO, (SLFP.com) - Lambert has grown from a balloon launch location called Kinloch Field to a major transportation center. The originally hayfields were purchased by Major Albert Lambert and renamed it Lambert Field in 1920. The airport has played an important role in air transportation. Col. Charles Lindbergh departed from Lambert Flying Field in 1927 St. Louis for New York to begin his historic non-stop solo flight to Paris, France. The addition of all new signs now makes it possible for Lambert to adopt numerical terminal designations which are commonly used because they are sign friendly, easier to understand and easier to remember. The "Main Terminal" will become Terminal 1. The "East Terminal" will become Terminal 2. Other features of the new signage program includes simple consistent messaging, color-coded symbols, distinct interstate signage, airline terminal locations, improved car rental signage and improved parking lot information.
