Jump to postIt won't be loading into the CRSs until next weekend.
Jump to postIt's about time... this is a great route for United.
The third frequency, a 763, starts next year.
UAX will be starting 2x daily CRJ service from RFD "Northwest Chicago International Airport" next February.
This will be the longest major airline flight into this kind of podunk airport.
Hooters Air currently flies this route 4x weekly IIRC.
