LANSING, N.Y. — Ithaca Tompkins International Airport (ITH) plans to add a third daily flight to Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) this October.
The third flight is made possible through funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Small Community Air Service Development Program (SCASD) grant, Tompkins County said in a Thursday announcement.
