Delta will offer flights on a 124-passenger plane on Dec. 22 and 29; March 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30; and April 6, County Airports Director Peter Horton said.

U.S. Airways will offer direct flights on a 75-passenger plane to Ronald Reagan International Airport in Washington D.C. in December and January. The service will be daily from Dec. 22 through Jan. 5. The service will continue on a Saturday-only basis from January through April, Horton said.

"These are the farthest flights the airport has ever had on a commercial basis," said Horton, who made the announcement at Wednesday's County Commission meeting.

Horton could not speculate if the flights will become permanent, but he did say that when such seasonal flights have proved successful in the past they are "repeated.

The news comes after Horton announced last month that Southwest Airlines will begin offering direct daily flights from Key West to New Orleans.

When asked to explain if this could possibly affect the local Real Estate market,  Jan remarked,  “More people coming to the Keys means  more money coming into our economy.  That results in more jobs, which means more people looking for housing.

In addition increased tourism also means more people will historically fall in love with the Keys and want to own a piece of our paradise, plus this provides a very attractive option for our local residents also.
