Glo Airlines, the New Orleans-based regional carrier that began service just three months ago, is expanding its service along the Gulf Coast, adding flights between New Orleans and Destin-Fort Walton, Florida, as well as between Little Rock and Destin-Fort Walton. The new service, announced earlier this month, will run Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from March 25 to Sept. 5.
Glo founder and CEO Trey Fayard says the upstart airline, which currently services New Orleans, Little Rock, Shreveport and Memphis with three, Saab 340B aircraft, has plans to expand still more and would like to eventually add Baton Rouge to its list of destinations, but has no immediate plans to do so.
“We see potential in Baton Rouge,” Fayard says. “I’ve had extensive discussions with Anthony Marino and Jim Caldwell at the airport there. We stay in good communication … maybe in phase two of our expansion you’ll see Baton Rouge, but not immediately.”
