History
On January 19, 2011, Vision Airlines announced that it would begin commercial flights to 20 U.S. cities beginning March 25, 2011 from Northwest Florida Regional Airport using Boeing 737 and Dornier 328 aircraft. The airline also began operating nonstop Boeing 737 flights between Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Las Vegas, Nevada with these flights also serving the Northwest Florida Regional Airport but then suspended all service on the route. On June 16, 2011, Vision Airlines announced new service from Freeport, Bahamas to the United States beginning on November 11, 2011. The scheduled service to and from the Bahamas included new cities of Baltimore, Maryland; Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina; and Richmond, Virginia. Vision, however, ceased operations at Northwest Florida Regional Airport in February 2012. All service to Freeport, Bahamas was suspended as well. Currently, according to the airline's website, it appears that Vision is only flying scheduled passenger service on one route between Gulfport/Biloxi, Mississippi and St.Petersburg/Tampa, Florida.
In early 2012, Vision Airlines announced that it would begin commercial flights to 11 U.S. cities beginning May 31, 2012, based in Myrtle Beach International Airport in South Carolina. Eight flights were to be operated from Myrtle Beach with Vision's other destinations consisting of flights between St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport and Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport. This schedule was effective May 31, 2012, through October 31, 2012. However, it currently appears that Vision has suspended all service to Myrtle Beach.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“[Men say:] “Don’t you know that we are your natural protectors?” But what is a woman afraid of on a lonely road after dark? The bears and wolves are all gone; there is nothing to be afraid of now but our natural protectors.”

“In all history no class has been enfranchised without some selfish motive underlying. If to-day we could prove to Republicans or Democrats that every woman would vote for their party, we should be enfranchised.”

“The history of mankind interests us only as it exhibits a steady gain of truth and right, in the incessant conflict which it records between the material and the moral nature.”
