“This is great news to see the return of these routes to SDF,” said Dan Mann, Executive Director of the Louisville Regional Airport Authority. “We believe the airlines are seeing the interest from area travelers and are responding by resuming service to these cities. This speaks very highly of the Louisville market and leaves us optimistic for the future.”
