Barkley Regional Exploring Possibility of Paducah-to-Nashville Flight

barkleyregional.com

Barkley Regional Airport is gauging public interest in adding a Paducah to Nashville flight.

The airport has posted a survey to its Facebook page asking if prospective travelers would use such a flight under conditions including flying in a nine-seat airplane and having to check their bags and go through security at Nashville before a connecting flight. The survey also inquires how much respondents would be willing to pay for a round trip ticket.

Airport officials say no talks have begun with airlines yet. As of Wednesday afternoon, the Facebook post has generated more than 175 comments and 39 shares.

Barkley Regional currently offers 13 weekly flights to Chicago, via United Express.
