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:
“The whole history of civilisation is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“If usually the “present age” is no very long time, still, at our pleasure, or in the service of some such unity of meaning as the history of civilization, or the study of geology, may suggest, we may conceive the present as extending over many centuries, or over a hundred thousand years.”
—Josiah Royce (1855–1916)
“One classic American landscape haunts all of American literature. It is a picture of Eden, perceived at the instant of history when corruption has just begun to set in. The serpent has shown his scaly head in the undergrowth. The apple gleams on the tree. The old drama of the Fall is ready to start all over again.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
