Delaware is the only state in the union with no commercial airline service, but that's about to change. Frontier Airlines, which left Delaware in 2015, is coming back in May to New Castle Airport.
Small but mighty, the state of Delaware has a long and proud history as one of the original 13 colonies, becoming a state in 1776 two months after the signing of the US Declaration of Independence.
What the second-smallest US state -- with a total area of just 1,982 square miles -- doesn't have right now is regular commercial airline service. It's the only state in the union without it, according to Airports Council International, an industry trade group.The indignity of it all: The state's nearly 1 million residents must drive to Philadelphia; Newark, New Jersey; Washington or other cities if they want to hop on a passenger airplane.
