Massachusetts-based Cape Air has scheduled a meeting Aug. 20 in Indianapolis with airport officials from Evansville and South Bend to discuss starting commuter flights between the two cities and Indianapolis.

An official of Evansville Regional Airport told the Evansville Courier & Press that the planes used by Cape Air, nine-passenger Cesna 402s, would be ideal.

If round-trip flights can be launched in October or November, as hoped, the cost likely would average $100 to $150.

Indianapolis-based Chautauqua Airlines operated flights between Evansville and Indianapolis on behalf of USAirways until the 2001 terrorist attacks hurt air travel and profit dipped.

Nine passenger? You have to be kidding me lol. I hope this isn't just a grab and run when it comes to the grant to run the route. Last thing we need is another Chicago Express.
