Sun Air Express to lease three Cessna Caravans ch-aviation PRO exclusive

Southern Airways Express (9X, Memphis Int'l) will begin daily passenger flights to Bradford in northern Pennsylvania on Sunday, June 19. The Florida-based commuter airline will serve Pittsburgh Int'l using Cessna (single turboprop) Grand Caravan 208Bs.

The route is currently operated by Sun Air Express (6G, Fort Lauderdale Int'l) which Southern Airways Express acquired earlier this year.

Southern Airways Express (9X, Memphis Int'l) is planning to modify its Hagerstown operations later this summer the carrier has disclosed.

Southern CEO Stan Little told the local press that the carrier will switch its Washington Dulles service to Baltimore Thurgood Marshall at some point in the near future adding that Baltimore offers cheaper international connectivity than Dulles.

The route is part of a pair of regular scheduled flights to the north Maryland airfield that Southern Airways Express assumed on its absorption of Sun Air Express (6G, Fort Lauderdale Int'l) earlier this year. The other is to Pittsburgh Int'l.

Operations will also switch from the current Piper (twin piston) Navajo to a Cessna (single turboprop) Grand Caravan 208B.
