Funjet Vacations will offer the first regularly scheduled international passenger flights out of Columbus, Ohio's Rickenbacker International Airport beginning in February.
Funjet, Milwaukee, a division of Fox Point-based Mark Travel Corp., will launch charter vacation service out of Rickenbacker's new passenger terminal.
Rickenbacker is primarily a cargo airport, but opened a passenger terminal this year. Southeast Airlines Inc. was the first to start airline service at the terminal, offering flights to Las Vegas, Sanford-Orlando and St. Petersburg, Fla., and Allentown, Pa.
A group of Columbus travel agents approached Mark Travel management about the city's dearth of charter travel to Mexico, said Funjet spokeswoman Tamara Kriese.
Funjet is offering seven-night vacation packages departing from Columbus to Cancun, Mexico, from Feb. 8 through Aug. 8, 2004, which is the peak travel season to Mexico. Airline service will be provided by Casino Express Airlines, which will operate a 122-seat charter jet.
This is the 3rd charter air service to start operations from LCK (Columbus's 2nd Airport). The others are Southeast Airlines and Hooters Air.
