Typical news teaser...
The Metropolitan Knoxville Airport Authority announced Tuesday that a new airline has been recruited to Knoxville's McGhee Tyson Airport. The airline will be named in a Wednesday afternoon press conference at the Airport.
Anyone want to spill the beans and let us know a day early?
ED. UPDATE: Sorry to bust in on Justin's post here, but a source tell us it is this airline. (R. Neal)

JetBlue Regional Jet Service to JFK
along the lines of what Nashville has recently been awarded.
Hopefully it will force some
Hopefully it will force some of the other carriers to bring back direct flights to Florida. My wife and I are still pissed off at Delta for pulling the plug on direct flights to Tampa from TYS.
Who'll claim credit? SuperChamber? Ragsdale? Varlan? Ingram?
I'm sure tom ingram and susan richardson williams will have been instrumental in negotiating for some broken down DC-9 discount airline to lay claim to the old Independence Airline counterspace at the Alcoa Municipal Airport. Superchamber will claim it is a necessary component to bring the old fossils from tampa bay and st. pete to Knoxville, to enjoy the attractions in Sevier County and the Knoxville Convention Center. County Executive Ragsdale will be on the first flight out of the airport to ensure that the airline is improving the quality of life in the community and that Tyler Harber is not living in St. Pete. Toursism and Sports Corporation will be taking all 12 new hires to Tampa to see the NHL hockey facilities to see how you do it and sell ice hockey in a place where palm trees grow. Wake me up when SouthWest Airlines gets to town.
