Delta to Add Flight from La Crosse Regional Airport to Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport

LA CROSSE, WISCONSIN, April 12, 2021 — Traveling is becoming easier for the La Crosse region. Beginning June 5, a third daily Delta flight, operated by SkyWest Airlines, will be added from La Crosse Regional Airport (LSE) to the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (MSP). More options mean easier travel and this enhanced schedule provides travelers greater flexibility when using their hometown airport.

This new flight is in addition to the current schedule, which includes two daily Delta flights to MSP and one daily Delta flight to Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW). The additional Delta flight will depart LSE at approximately 3:55 p.m. with an arrival from MSP scheduled for 5:05 p.m. Note that flight schedules vary and are subject to change.

From MSP, Delta offers 280 daily flights to 100 destinations, including international locations. Service will be provided on CRJ200 aircraft, which is the same aircraft SkyWest currently operates out of LSE.

La Crosse Regional Airport (LSE) is Western Wisconsin’s largest airport and plays a critical role in fostering business growth and economic development in the region. Owned by the City of La Crosse, the airport is a self-sufficient utility serving approximately 200,000 passengers annually, hosting 74 based aircraft, and providing for approximately 20,000 annual aircraft operations. LSE is comprised of approximately 1,300 acres and three commercial runways. Two major airlines (American Airlines and Delta Air Lines) provide seven daily departures, direct service to Chicago, Minneapolis and Detroit.

“Whether heading to Minneapolis or beyond, these new flights provide travelers greater access and options for all their travel plans,” said Greg Atkin, SkyWest’s managing director of Market Development. “Passengers can also fly with confidence thanks to the multiple safety measures that are in place, including enhanced cleaning, mandatory face coverings and customer self-assessments with check-in.”

“This additional flight speaks to the strength of our region and our partnership with Delta and SkyWest,” says Ian Turner, Director of the La Crosse Regional Airport. “It has taken hard work by the community to make LSE exceptional and the airlines’ commitment to us shows that hard work pays off.”
