Two Locations Possibilities For Direct Flight To U.S.

Newark and Philadelphia have been identified as two possible locations for a direct flight to the U.S. from Saint John. Airport President and C-E-O David Allen says discussions are ongoing. 

The airport is also talking to Air Canada about adding a flight to Toronto.
 
Allen would also like to see additional flights to Halifax and St. John's, Newfoundland. He tells Tide News the airport has a lot of potential but it's unrealized potential.

The number of passengers using the airport last year increased by more than 4 per cent to over 216 thousand.
