Southwest Airlines to add daily, nonstop service from Syracuse to Orlando

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Southwest Airlines plans to launch daily, nonstop service from Syracuse Hancock International Airport to Orlando International Airport in Orlando, Florida.

The seasonal service is scheduled to begin on Oct. 5 of this year, the Syracuse Regional Airport Authority (SRAA) announced Thursday.

The seasonal, daily Syracuse-Orlando service expands upon the airline’s existing year-round Saturday-only nonstop service, SRAA said.

Southwest began nonstop flights from Syracuse to the Central Florida family-vacation haven in November 2021. That’s when the low-cost carrier first launched regularly scheduled operations at Hancock Airport.

The daily flights are scheduled to depart early each afternoon from Syracuse.

“We are thrilled our partner Southwest Airlines has chosen to continue growing their offerings here in Syracuse,” Jason Terreri, SRAA executive director, said. “Orlando is easily our community’s top market, and we appreciate Southwest’s efforts to meet that demand for both leisure and business travelers alike.”

In addition to the seasonal daily Orlando service, the low-cost carrier provides three flights daily to Baltimore-Washington International Airport in Baltimore, Maryland, providing “convenient” connections to over 60 destinations, SRAA said.

The carrier also operates seasonal weekly flights to Tampa International Airport in Tampa, Florida.
