Chicago Rockford International Airport (RFD)

ROCKFORD, Ill. - Chicago Rockford International Airport today announced new non-stop service to West Palm Beach, Fla.

Direct Air will launch the twice-weekly flights Nov. 18. Introductory fares of $79* each way will be available through Monday; after that, fares start at $99* each way.

West Palm Beach is RFD's fourth Florida destination, and gives travelers a gateway to The Palm Beaches and Boca Raton. Known as "America's First Resort Destination", the region features 47 miles of pristine beaches, plus colorful resorts, culinary delights, trendy shops and boutiques and a thriving nightlife. Flights will also put travelers just 45 miles from Fort Lauderdale and 70 miles from Miami.

"We're excited that Direct Air has chosen RFD for this new destination, and we know the regional community will support it," said Brian Boyer, chairman of the Greater Rockford Airport Authority Board of Commissioners. "This provides hassle-free, direct access to one of the country's most impressive stretches of beaches and resorts."

Flights will be on a Boeing 737-400, with 12 first-class seats and 138 coach seats. Flights leave RFD Mondays and Fridays at 4:45 p.m and arrive at Palm Beach International Airport at 8:45 p.m. Return flights leave Palm Beach International Airport Mondays and Fridays at 1:45 p.m. and arrive at RFD at 3:45 p.m. All times are local.

For more information about booking tickets, visit flyrfd.com. Direct Air already provides RFD with nonstop service to the Ft. Myers area on the western side of Florida. RFD also has nonstop service to Las Vegas, Orlando, Phoenix, Tampa Bay and Cancun.

"The only reason we have our seventh non-stop destinations is because the regional community made our six destinations such a success," said RFD Executive Director Bob O'Brien. "We need community members to not only consider using RFD themselves, but to tell their friends, family and coworkers about all our wonderful destinations. If we make our seventh destination a success, we're more likely to get our eight, ninth, tenth and so on."

Blue Water Consolidators Is Ready for 100% Screening

Blue Water Consolidators is pleased to announce that their ORD and LAX facilities are now equipped with the TSA approved X-ray and ETD equipment required to comply with mandatory screening of air cargo for passenger flights.

Both Blue Water locations have been operating as Certified Cargo Screening Facilities (CCSF) for over a year and are now able to screen cargo in time for the May and August deadlines with state of the art equipment obtained through the TSA pilot  program. “Some customers are able to screen on their own, but we realize that we will be able to assist our customers that won’t be able to be in compliance with screening by the mandated deadline. We also envision some shippers may come to us just for our screening capabilities,” said COO Rita Carlson.

“We are happy to be able to avoid delays that might occur if we tender non-screened freight to the airlines. We welcome the opportunity to help others avoid the delays, as well”, said Jackie Morozink, Blue Water CFO.

Blue Water Consolidators specializes in ULD freight consolidations, concentrating on Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico.
