“The addition of a Caribbean and Latin American gateway in South Florida allows us to continue our expansion in the region by reaching beyond the leisure markets, which have become a strength for US Airways,” said B. Ben Baldanza, US Airways senior vice president of marketing and planning. “We are committed to bringing low, simple fares and easy access for all customers to South Florida and major U.S. cities, a market that has been dominated by a single carrier for years. With this expansion, we are pleased to offer a value-added alternative to larger, congested airports.”
