“The leadership shared with us that the June and July flights are fully booked,” Nowak said. “These are their words: This has been the most successful launch of a new market in memory.”

St. Louis’ new nonstop flight to Frankfurt has some asking 'Where next?'

Some business leaders in the St. Louis region have seen this success, and now their sights are set on replicating it with a nonstop route to South America.
