"Vail and Beaver Creek are world-class ski destinations, drawing international and domestic visitors alike," said Daniel M. McDonald, US Airways vice president of planning and scheduling. "The feed provided through our codeshare relationship with United, combined with our strong East Coast presence, supports our ability to begin new service to a such a premier Western U.S. destination."
"We're thrilled to be expanding air service to Charlotte and Philadelphia. Both markets offer tremendous opportunity to generate exposure of Vail and Beaver Creek, both of which are within 30 minutes of the Vail Eagle airport, and build upon our winter destination business," said Chris Jarnot, vice president of marketing for Vail and Beaver Creek Resorts.
