The Mercer County Board of Commissioners approved an agreement between Mercer County and the American Airlines / Landline tarmac-to-tarmac motor coach service. The service will allow for those flying out of Philadelphia International via American Airlines to check in, clear security and begin their travel at Trenton Mercer Airport.
The agreement will bring potential parking revenue to the Trenton Mercer Airport and cut down on congestion heading into Philadelphia airport.
“We’re thrilled to bring the convenience and connectivity of the American Airlines / Landline tarmac-to-tarmac motorcoach service to Trenton-Mercer Airport,” said Nick Johnson, Vice President of Revenue at Landline. “This innovative offering allows travelers to check in, clear security, and begin their global journey right from TTN—skipping the hassle of driving to a larger hub while still enjoying seamless access to American’s worldwide network.”
“Since becoming County Executive, I have been dedicated to making sure we maximize all Trenton Mercer has to offer to our residents,” said County Executive Dan Benson, “Our new agreement with American Airlines / Landline tarmac-to-tarmac service will give our residents another option for accessible public transportation.”
“The County Executive and Commissioner Board has worked hand-in-hand in exploring innovative options to both generate revenue and improve services,” said Commissioner Chairwoman Kristin McLaughlin, “This is once again another win-win for our County Government and our residents.”
