Vision Airlines expands its passenger service

SUWANEE, Ga. (AP) — Vision Airlines said on Monday that it is adding to its commercial passenger service in the Eastern U.S. with flights beginning March 25.

The small carrier has mostly been a charter operator, handling flights for the military as well as for tourists. On Monday it said it would add flights between Destin-Fort Walton Beach in Florida and cities including Asheville, N.C., Atlanta, Miami, the Orlando area, and other cities in Florida and the South.

Last month it added twice-a-day flights between Louisville, Ky. and Atlanta, and from Niagara Falls International Airport in New York to cities in Florida. Some of Vision's routes will compete with those flown by other carriers, such as Southwest Airlines Co.'s flights out of Buffalo, N.Y., which is near Niagara Falls.

Vision's fleet includes six Boeing Co. 767s and nine 737s.
