Great Lakes launches flights from Salina to Denver, complete with TSA services
|
Salina Journal
When the 30-seat airplane taxied away from M.J. Kennedy Air Terminal for its maiden flight to Denver, it mattered little that the departure was two months, 15 days and 24 minutes late.
With the bulk of the delay attributed to a springtime hassle with the Transportation Security Administration that required a Congressional remedy, Great Lakes Airlines pulled away at 8:09 a.m. Wednesday.
Despite clear conditions at Salina Regional Airport, the crew had to wait for an official weather report before taking off, said Chuck Howell, president of the Cheyenne, Wyo.-based airline. The original launch date was April 1.

Terrorism has no particular look
|
Guns, knives, ammunition, axes and hammers are just some of the items confiscated from passengers entering the Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport earlier this year when Jason Fauci-Wills was the lead Transportation Safety Administration security officer at the Wichita Airport.
Fauci-Wills now makes sure those dangerous items don't make it onto the Great Lakes Airlines airplanes that leave Salina Regional Airport each day for Denver.
He said one standard TSA operating procedure is used at every airport.
"We screen to the same level, the same quality. That is very important to us. Just because it is a small airport does not mean we are lax in security in any way (in Salina)," he said.
