Atlanta,
GA. - Due to the impending hostilities in the Persian Gulf Region,
Interstate Jet is making the following changes to our flight operations.
The Allentown to/from Los Angeles flights scheduled to begin April
3rd, will instead begin on May 22, 2003. Passengers currently booked
on the Los Angeles flight prior to the new start date will be given
the opportunity to receive a full refund or rebook at a later time
at the same fare and without any change fees.
"We want
to make certain that our new service between Lehigh Valley International
Airport and Los Angeles gets off to an excellent start. Unfortunately
the uncertainties of war occurring in the next several weeks make
that difficult. We are certain that passengers will enjoy our new
service when it begins on May 22, 2003," said Cary Evans, executive
vice president of Interstate Jet.
Interstate Jet
also announced that all passengers who are booked on the Atlanta
service from Lehigh Valley International Airport which begins FEBRUARY
20th are unaffected by the postponing of the Los Angeles service.
However, should hostilities commence the Atlanta passengers will
be able to change their reservations without change fees and at
the same fares originally booked.
Interstate Jet
flights are Flightserv, Inc. d/b/a Interstate Jet public charters
operated for Interstate Jet by TransMeridian Airlines or Pace Airlines.
Information on flights and reservations is available by calling
1-877-FLY-I-JET (1-877-359-4538) or www.flyijet.com.
"We apologize
for this necessary change in schedule and the inconvenience that
will occur. The report, "Airlines in Crises," published
this past Tuesday, FEBRUARY 11, 2003 by the Air Transport Association
provided a very realistic picture of the impact of the impending
conflict on the airline industry, ranging from substantial reductions
in reservations, flight schedules and enormous increase in the cost
of operations due to fuel prices. All of these elements combined
with the uncertainty of when hostilities may begin, have adversely
affected the travel industry including Interstate Jet," Evans
concluded.
