Start-up airline to be based at Harrisburg airport
The Associated Press


HARRISBURG -- After months of trying to attract low-cost carriers,
Harrisburg International Airport apparently has landed start-up airline CQ
Air.

The privately held carrier will likely make a "big announcement" next week
about planned routes and its plans at the regional airport, said Mike Adams,
CQ Air senior project manager. The airline's inaugural flight is expected to
be in August.

Alfred Testa Jr., director of aviation at Harrisburg International, said CQ
Air has made the airport its headquarters but referred other questions to
the airline, and Adams declined further comment.

Among other things CQ Air is expected to announce a new name, according to
its Web site, which said the CQ name used during its inception phase "was
never intended to be the actual name of the operating airline."
