Frontier Airlines Flight 1778 flew in direct from Orlando and touched down at Long Island MacArthur Airport around 9:36 a.m. Wednesday, heralding the carrier’s first service to the Ronkonkoma airport.
Orlando resident Ed Kelly took advantage of the low-cost carrier’s first flight to fly up to attend Wednesday night’s Subway Series game at Citifield. A former resident of North Massapequa, Kelly said he anticipated flying the Islip-Orlando route frequently. “I just like going to MacArthur because it’s convenient and a small airport,” he said.
