MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Southwest Airlines will launch its new nonstop service between Memphis International Airport (MEM) and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) on Saturday, March 7. The flight will operate twice daily Sunday through Friday and once a day on Saturday.
Tickets are on sale at www.southwest.com.
Atlanta is Southwest’s eighth destination from MEM, joining Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Orlando and Tampa. The airline began operations at MEM in November 2013. The Atlanta route also creates several one-stop Southwest Airlines connections to destinations such as Cancun, Raleigh-Durham, Greenville Spartanburg, Jacksonville, Richmond, Palm Beach, and Ft. Myers.
“This is a huge positive air service addition for MEM,” said Pace Cooper, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners for the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority. “First, passengers now have more options to get to and from Atlanta and second, Southwest is continuing to expand its service for Memphis passengers!” The schedule is as follows:
