Ever wonder why some flights from Redding cost more than Sacramento—or how new destinations get added to the schedule?
In this episode, Steve and Katie sit down with the manager of Redding Airports Manager Andrew Solsvig to talk about what it really takes to bring airlines and routes to a regional airport. They dive into the convenience of flying local, how connections through Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and Denver open up travel across the country and around the world, and why pricing doesn’t always work the way travelers expect.
They also tackle some of the community's most-asked questions—including rumors about new airlines, potential new destinations, and whether a direct flight to San Diego could one day take off.
If you’ve ever debated driving to Sacramento or flying out of Redding, this episode will give you a behind-the-scenes look at how your hometown airport works—and what the future of air travel in the North State might look like.
