There has been a push by many organizations in Evansville and South Bend to get intrastate service re-established in Indiana, even so far as a Federal Grant that was awarded to Cape Air when they started SBN-IND-EVV. ATA also started Chicago Express between these cities as a last ditch effort to draw in sales... There are some very good reasons and incentives to do this. I don't want to publically state those as I think they are rather unique...

This would be a jet serviced route, but this is all in the planning stages now. I am just starting the business plan and gathering figures and estimates.

Thanks for asking!
