Horizon offers new Boise flight


By GREG MOORE
Express Staff Writer

Horizon Air will inaugurate a once-daily flight to Boise this winter that should help facilitate travel to West Coast cities as well as the Midwest.

Beginning Dec. 15, and running until March 30, the flight will depart Boise at 1:55 p.m., and the return flight will depart Sun Valley at 2:35 p.m. Flying time in the 37-seat, turboprop plane will be 40 minutes.

The flights are timed to connect with Horizon flights from Los Angeles, San Jose, Seattle and Portland, as well as Northwest Airlines flights from Minneapolis.

"It’s going to make it easier for people to get here," said Sun Valley-Ketchum Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Carl Waller. "We’re usually ranked low in accessibility. Any little improvement is going to help."

Horizon has in the past offered flights between Friedman Memorial Airport and Boise, but has had none recently. Waller said previous flights several years ago were instituted under a partial funding guarantee from Sun Valley, but the flights were profitable and the company made no payments.

An additional new Horizon service starting Dec. 15 will be a daily, direct flight between Sun Valley and Los Angeles. That flight will be year-round.
