Air-choiceJust months after announcing they were bringing airline service to Mason City and Fort Dodge, an airline has announced an expansion of their services to those communities.

Since mid-November, Air Choice One has been offering air service between Mason City and Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, with the airline previously announcing that they would start service between Fort Dodge and Lambert International in St. Louis on February 23.

The St. Louis based company this week is announcing they’ll be adding a daily flight on weekdays between Mason City and St. Louis starting on February 23, and a once-a-day on weekdays service between Fort Dodge and O’Hare.

Air Choice One CEO Shane Storz says the company is excited to introduce the additional hubs, providing passengers with both international and low-cost travel options.

The Mason City and Ft. Dodge airports were left without service back in February after Great Lake Airlines suspended their service due to a pilot shortage.
