Clinton National Airport
has announced that Via Airlines will begin offering nonstop air service between Little Rock and Austin, Texas beginning April 29.

It will use 50-seat Embraer jets. Flights will be available daily, except Saturday. You can check fares at the website. I plugged in a flight down on April 30 with a May 1 return and got a $98.59 fare in each direction, just under $200 roundtrip.

The new flight is in addition to new nonstop service announced this year to Denver and Washington.

Via is apparently making a big push to serve Austin from several cities.
