The little airline with
the name we've all snickered about (Guilty, as charged...) is
doubling it's, uh, assets. Well, what we meant to say is that the
airline is doubling it's slate of scheduled destinations with the
addition of three new routes.
Hooters Air started service last March with service from Atlanta
(GA) to Myrtle Beach, (SC), and also serviced markets in Newark
(NJ) and Baltimore (MD). They will soon offer additional service to
Columbus, (OH); Fort Myers, (FL); and Nassau, (Bahamas). The new
service starts December 18th.
"This expansion reinforces our growth plan to serve cities that
can provide strong, sustainable demand for the Hooters Air concept
and our great fares, and great service," said Chairman of Hooters,
Bob Brooks. "This expansion to our route structure with these
cities adds additional leisure travel opportunities that are in
demand by our customers on an annual basis."
Of course, the reason for all the fuss is the fact that Hooters
Air is the brainchild of the folks that run the Hooters restaurant
chain noted for their... chicken wings (Yeah, that's my story
and I'm sticking to it), as well as the charms of their
waitresses.
Every Hooters Air flight features two of the above-mentioned
waitresses on each flight, who handle a number of service chores in
addition to those performed by the required cadre of trained flight
attendants.
The fledgling airline owns three 737s and a single 757, though
another 757 is scheduled to join the fleet.
