News Release
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – OneJet today announces nonstop service between Indianapolis (IND) and Milwaukee (MKE). Flights will be offered Monday through Thursday, featuring one hour, gate-to-gate service, TSA precheck access for eligible customers, expedited boarding, and complimentary on-board amenities.
Service to Milwaukee begins on April 6th, with tickets now on sale via select corporate and online retailers, including American Express Global Business Travel and Expedia. Inventory will be limited during the introductory period.
The Hawker 400 service will be operated by OneJet’s regional operating partner, Pentastar Aviation.
Today’s announcement represents the culmination of a multi-year, national scale initiative to introduce demand-responsive transportation networks within the eastern U.S. Such networks can sustainably provide consumers increased access to nonstop travel options, at relatively low cost. The opening of OneJet Service between Indianapolis and Milwaukee is the first step in a multi-phase roll out of the program from Indianapolis over the coming months.
Former U.S. Deputy Secretary of Transportation John Porcari, a senior advisor to the OneJet program, stated: “This has been a multi-faceted effort incorporating leadership from across the transportation industry, including former senior leadership from the U.S. major airlines, the U.S. Department of Transportation, leading aircraft manufacturers, and TSA. As OneJet Service is gradually introduced, communities such as Indianapolis will see increased nonstop connectivity and improved travel options.”
John Pistole, the recently retired head of the Transportation Security Administration, added: “OneJet Service will deliver a truly innovative and beneficial service enhancement for travelers, leveraging our transportation system’s existing operational capabilities to create increased nonstop accessibility.”
Mr. Pistole continued, “As an Indiana native, I’m pleased to see Indianapolis as one of the first communities to gain access to this service.”
Lesley Conzelman, Senior Vice President, Sales and Distribution, for the OneJet program, stated: “This service will deliver a new level of simplicity and convenience for regional business travelers, with nonstop travel options easily accessible via existing booking tools and point of sale.” OneJet corporate retail partners include the nation’s largest corporate travel managers, including American Express Global Business Travel, Carlson Wagonlit Travel, and BCD Travel. “We look forward to continuing to work with our distribution partners to ensure OneJet Service is easily available to travelers as the program rolls out over the coming two to three years.”
OneJet will announce additional destination points from Indianapolis sequentially beginning April 23rd. For additional information, please visit www.onejet.com. For customer inquiries or travel assistance, please call 1-844-ONEJET1 (663-5381).
