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.
The new United Airlines flight will expand options for travelers flying between Ithaca and the Washington D.C. metro area, offering “greater flexibility, improved same-day return opportunities, and better access” to United’s global network via IAD.
