Delta is meeting college football fans at the moment they’re looking to support their team, and has added multiple flights from southern cities into Indianapolis.
Delta has added one-time service with flights from Birmingham, Huntsville and Savannah targeting fans of the Alabama and Georgia ahead of the College Football Playoff national championship, Inside Indiana Business reported.
The flights will take off on Saturday, with return flights set for Tuesday, the day after the championship.
“Delta literally has its eye on the ball with this one-time service opportunity for fans wanting to come join the excitement and fun rivalry in Indy that is sure to energize this much-hoped-for rematch of two titan college football teams,” said Indianapolis Airport Authority Executive Director Mario Rodriguez.
Rodriguez said the airport anticipates more than 100,000 fans will converge on Indianapolis leading up to the championship.
