ITHACA, N.Y. (WHCU) — The Ithaca-Tompkins International Airport is expanding service.

United is adding another flight to Newark. Airport Director Roxan Noble says the mid-day service will run from late October to early December.

“That’s really a key time too for the airport, with students who travel for breaks over Thanksgiving,” she says.

Airport officials are considering pursuing financial aid to help with international travel needs.
