Ultimate Air Shuttle offers flights to New Jersey from CVG

On September 9, Ultimate Air Shuttle launched its first flight from Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) to New York City via the Morristown Airport in New Jersey. Twenty-five passengers were on the first flight, which is the largest capacity Ultimate Air has seen on its maiden flight from a new location.
 
“Ultimate Air adds diversity to CVG, and it adds another service for passengers,” says Melissa Wideman, spokesperson for CVG. “We look forward to working with them now and in the future, and to continue to grow our relationship.”
 
Ultimate Air offers four-day-a-week service from CVG to the Morristown Airport. The 30-seat Dornier 328 Jet flies between CVG and Morristown on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Ultimate Air also flies out of Lunken Airport, Charlotte Douglas International Airport and Chicago Midway. There are plans to extend Ultimate Air’s service throughout the Midwest, says Rick Pawlak, managing director of Ultimate Air.

“Hopefully by 2014, we’ll be connecting the cities we already service, so customers can go from Cincinnati to Charlotte and then from Charlotte to Morristown,” he says.
 
The public charter has fewer restrictions than commercial flights, plus VIP-level service. Ultimate Air provides a level of service that exceeds the minimum mandated by the Department of Transportation, including late check-in up to 15 minutes before departure time; no cancellation penalty for changes made up to 24 hours in advance; concierge service for taxis and rental cars; and no fees for parking, baggage or in-flight refreshments.
 
VIP service at CVG will also include complimentary covered parking adjacent to the CVG Administration Building, and quick boarding without filing through a TSA checkpoint. The Ultimate Air Shuttle Facility will feature comfortable leather furniture, free Wi-Fi, cable TV and free refreshments.

“Time management is the best amenity offered to our customers,” Pawlak says. “They can get in and out fast and get to where they’re going.”
 
Ultimate Air offers free ground transportation between CVG, Fountain Square and Lunken for those customers who use both airports or want a downtown drop-off. And once in Morristown, passengers can purchase a round-trip shuttle ticket to New York City’s Penn Station for $69.99.
 
Round-trip tickets from Cinicnnati are $695, and a one-way ticket is $395. For departure/arrival times and to purchase tickets, visit Ultimate Air’s website or call (800) 437-3931.
