The Northwest Alabama Regional Airport is set to introduce a new non-stop flight route, providing travelers from Muscle Shoals with direct access to Pensacola. This new service is slated to commence on March 22, with flights operating every Wednesday and Saturday thereafter. According to officials at the airport, the decision regarding the destination involved careful consideration of various factors. By selecting Pensacola as the target city, passengers will have the opportunity to connect to additional flights, facilitating travel to other destinations.
The scheduled departure for these flights is at 12:50 PM on both Wednesdays and Saturdays. Currently, the service is planned to continue until August 2, 2025. Airport representatives have indicated that they will evaluate the performance of these flights and are optimistic about the potential for establishing year-round service based on the results of that assessment.
