Three additional open passenger charter flights are scheduled for Aug. 8, 13, and 18. Bookings for these new flights will be available starting in mid-June.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 eJzHXc body-paragraph\">The decision to add more flights comes in response to the success of ZIPAIR\u2019s inaugural nonstop service between the two cities earlier this year. The initial flights in February and March marked a historic milestone as the first nonstop open passenger charter operation between Florida and the Asia Pacific region. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 eJzHXc body-paragraph\">Chief Lance Lyttle, Executive Officer of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, which manages MCO, noted the strong demand for the service. \u201cThe excitement surrounding ZIPAIR\u2019s first flights exceeded expectations and sent a clear message that travelers want this connection,\u201d Lyttle said. \u201cThe return of service is an exciting milestone and another sign that Orlando continues to strengthen its position as a truly global gateway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 eJzHXc body-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wftv.com\/mobile-apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" title=\"https:\/\/www.wftv.com\/mobile-apps\">Click here<\/a> to download our free news, weather and smart TV apps.
