Two months ago, I wrote a blog post that included m thoughts on Vision Airlines operating flights in and around the Gulf States area to the Destin, Florida area.  You can read that HERE.   These flights were going to use Vision Airlines’ 737s from airports such as Macon, GA and Asheville, NC to carry passengers into both Destin, Florida as well as Gulfport/Biloxi.  

Already several cities in Vision’s plans are not working out.  Most recently, their flights from Macon, GA have been cancelled.   Now, it’s also true that Vision has seen enough tickets sales from other, more major origination cities such as Louisville, Kentucky and Huntsville, Alabama.  But those are reasonably large cities when compard to Macon and Asheville.  

I repeat my prediction:  Vision isn’t going to make a real go of this.  Those aircraft are difficult to fill and Vision’s idea of regular flights (just a few times a week in most cases) doesn’t serve the flexibility required by many seeking a few days leisure in places like that.
