[Bloomington, IL] – The Central Illinois Regional Airport (CIRA) is excited to announce that Delta has

added a third daily nonstop flight to meet travel demand for Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International

The new mid-day flight will depart CIRA at noon and is scheduled to arrive in Atlanta at 2:48 p.m. local

time allowing passengers to make more connections. “It is an ideal flight time because it opens up the

possibility to make more connections at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta, whether it’s a domestic or

a third daily flight from CIRA, opening up another time option for both business and leisure central Illinois travelers.

We have been working with Delta to bring this back since the pandemic.” CIRA is the only downstate
