morning of June 16, 2004, the first Independence Air flights took
off from Washington to five destinations -- Atlanta, Newark,
Boston, Raleigh/Durham and Chicago. From that date forward, the
airline completed the largest-ever rollout of new service in U.S.
aviation history -- eventually bringing low-fare flights to 45
total destinations in the span of less than eleven months, with a
daily schedule that now includes over 400 departures. In
commemorating the anniversary, Independence Air Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer Kerry Skeen said, "We remain humbled by the warm
and welcoming response we've received from all of the communities
we serve, as well as from the millions of customers who've flown
with us so far. They have been extremely generous in their praise
of our service and our people, and that's a great reward for all
the hard work we've put in during this first year." He added, "On
the occasion of this anniversary I especially want to thank all
3,800 of our employees. They've created a new airline brand that
stands for something very meaningful -- real service, delivered by
genuine, enthusiastic people and low fares that make it possible to
travel even more often than ever before. I could not be more proud
of all our people and their dedication to the values that have made
Independence Air a very different kind of airline." 5,000,000th
Passenger During a ceremony held yesterday, Michael Paquin of
Manassas, VA was honored as Independence Air's five millionth
passenger. He was boarding flight 1817 from Washington Dulles to
Detroit -- his ninth Independence Air trip over the past year --
when he was unexpectedly greeted by a team of Independence Air
