GREENVILLE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Appleton International Airport is adding three flights and 10 routes to accommodate for the upcoming NFL Draft.
On Thursday, the airport announced three airlines will add flights to ATW:
- American Airlines will add flights from Phoenix, AZ (PHX), Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX (DFW) and Charlotte, NC (CLT)
- Delta Airlines will add an additional flight from Atlanta, GA (ATL)
- Allegiant Airlines will add new service to Pittsburgh, PA (PIT), Providence, RI (PVD) and Canton/Akron, OH (CAK). They will also add to their existing schedule for St. Petersburg/Clearwater, FL (PIE), Orlando/Sandford, FL (SFB), Punta Gorda, FL (PGD), Sarasota/Bradenton, FL (SRQ), Phoenix/Mesa, AZ (AZA), New York/Newark (EWR), Las Vegas, NV (LAS), Denver, CO (DEN), Nashville, TN (BNA)
This comes as the airport is undergoing its major terminal expansion.
Airport director Abe Weber says that will be close to completion in time for NFL Draft in Green Bay at the end of April.
The airport will have a total of eight or nine gates available for incoming and departing flights during that time. Ten gates will be open when the expansion is complete.
Airport officials also remind area residents that if they are renting their primary residences during the draft, the airport offers affordable travel options to 19 nonstop destinations.
“Remember, airplanes travel in both directions,” Weber said. “If you’re planning on leaving Wisconsin during the draft, our airline partners have some great fares during this time.”
