I contacted the RDU Website the other day about new Service to Destinations like Frankfurt or Paris.

I sent them a E-Mail; As Shown Below
"Hello, I\'m Jeremy Geddis. And I heard That a possibility of
Delta interested or another Airline thinking of the possibility of
RDU-Frankfurt or RDU-Paris. A Answer would be much Appreciated as this
would be going to my KRDU Blog here.

Which I Then Got a Reply

Jeremy, Hello.

RDU seeks a second transatlantic gateway and are talking with several
carriers about this for the future. There are no commitments and no
timelines.

We appreciate your interest and suggest you stay connected to
www.rdu.com on the latest news in air service, and your blog is nice.

Thanks,"

So, Hopefully in the Future! We will be seeing some new service!

In 2007, just over 10 million passengers traveled through Raleigh-Durham International Airport. This is only the second time in the airport’s history that it has passed the 10 million mark.

The arrival of two new airlines, the return of United Airlines and the addition of 30 new flights to popular business and leisure destinations contributed to the growth. A total of 10.034 million passengers traveled through RDU, up 6.4 percent compared to 2006. The numbers were released today at the monthly meeting of the Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority.
