AirTran to offer flights to Rochester, NY

ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Low-fare carrier AirTran Airways will begin offering round-trip, daily flights in March from Rochester to its biggest hubs in Baltimore and Atlanta. <br> <br> Gov. George Pataki said Wednesday the new service will amount to &#34;a home run for the upstate economy&#34; by helping businesses led by Eastman Kodak Co. and Xerox Corp. and making the Rochester region &#34;an even more attractive place to live, work and raise a family.&#34; <br> <br> AirTran currently has departures from 36 cities throughout the eastern United States. <br> <br> The airline said it will offer discounted fares from Rochester to Atlanta&#39;s Hartsfield International Airport priced at just over $200. It will also fly at least once daily between Rochester and Baltimore-Washington International Airport. <br> <br> AirTran offered service between Rochester and Orlando, Fla., from February 1996 to August 1998. <br> <br> Another low-fare carrier, JetBlue Airways, has been offering flights at the Rochester airport since August 2000. <br> <br> <br>
