Great Lakes Express today announced new service three times daily from Bradley International Airport (Windsor Locks) to their main hub in Cleveland.  The new service will be offered on the Boeing 737-500 twin engine, single isle, and narrow body jetliner.  The aircraft will seat 122 passengers in a single class configuration instead of the customary 132 passengers giving Great Lakes Express customers more leg room.  The airline will offer morning, afternoon and late night flights from the Hartford area airport to Cleveland as well as daily round trip flights to Quebec and Toronto.  The new flights to Cleveland were part of a deal with the DOT who held up the connecting flights for over 5 months.  The deal with the DOT included eliminating flights to Roanoke from Philadelphia and flights to Lynchburg from Baltimore.  In addition Great Lakes Express has announced they have eliminated (2) Embraer E145 aircraft from service.  N430GL was based at Bradley International and N431GL was based in Wichita.  Both aircraft will not have their contracts renewed at the end of this month; both aircraft have been pulled from service.  The flights lost from Bradley will eventually be picked up on another Boeing 737-500 but no further details have been given.  The other aircraft based in Wichita provided service to Omaha, Pierre, Bismarck and Rapid City; the airline does not plan on replacing that service at all.  The airline has since eliminated Omaha as a focus city and will instead focus on building the hub structure at the airlines three hubs in Cleveland, Hartford and Milwaukee.  Great Lakes Express is a regional airline providing regional service to the East Coast and Midwest of the United States.
