French Lick partners with charter company

FRENCH LICK, Indiana – (PRESS RELEASE) --The skies above French Lick are getting busier, thanks to a partnership between French Lick Resort Casino and Greenwood Aviation. The Greenwood, Ind.-based on-demand charter company is now offering service to French Lick for $99, per person. As an added bonus, each guest will receive a $10 Resort Rewards player's card for use in the casino's slot machines.

Greenwood Aviation decided to offer daily charter service to and from French Lick after a test run in early December. The company, which is owned by Darin Schroeder, Zach Zeller and Scott Bradley, flew two dozen guests from Indianapolis area to the resort casino for a quick excursion. Flight time in the company's Piper Seneca is only 30 minutes; the trip would be 110 miles by car.

Guests can choose to make the round-trip the same day or inquire about overnight accommodations. For more information and to book a flight, call Greenwood Aviation, (317) 605-9144.

"We are very excited to be partnering with Greenwood Aviation to offer this service to our guests," said Mark Bommarito, vice president of sales and marketing. "This is a great addition to our transportation program...who knows, maybe someday we'll be able to bring train service back to French Lick."

Motor Coaches continue to bring patrons in by the busload. Regularly scheduled bus lines transport casino-goers from area cities including Louisville, Lexington, Indianapolis, Elizabethtown, Ky.; Shepherdsville, Ky.; and New Albany, Ind. Round trip fares are $15 per person and include a $10 pre-paid Resort Rewards player's card.
