The charters are being run by companies like World Airways and ATA. We are not doing any charters, but we are picking up customers on our scheduled service.

World brought in a MD11 last night early this AM nonstop from Rome and North American a 757 from Shannon, a refueling stop. The 1st Plane arrived PHL after 11pm so most of all flights they could make were today. Local news said from both jets there were about 550 passengers and only 5 of them were from the Philadelphia area. I sure hope that they can get home.
