GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Sin City just got a little bit closer to Grand Rapids with an announcement from Gerald R. Ford International Airport.
Beginning in October of 2024, Southwest Airlines will begin service between Grand Rapids and Las Vegas.
"We’re grateful to our partners at Southwest for expanding their network and further connecting the West Michigan community with the world," said Tory Richardson, president and CEO of the Gerald R. Ford International Airport Authority. "This will be Southwest’s eighth nonstop destination from our Airport and is a significant addition to their portfolio, providing travelers with more options and convenience when planning their trips."
The new service will include nonstop flights on select weekdays and weekends as well as flights with one or more layovers. Tickets are already available at Southwest.com. The flights to and from Las Vegas will be on Boeing 737s.
“We continue to look for additional opportunities, within our current fleet capabilities, to produce revenue and connect Customers to what’s important in their lives,” said Brook Sorem, vice president network planning at Southwest Airlines. “We’re excited to add this route connecting two business and leisure destinations.”
Southwest Airlines has been operating out of Gerald R. Ford International Airport since 2013.
