Tucker-Sun Air flights begin Saturday
Tucker says Sun Air, which is based out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is an independent regional carrier...which means it doesn't have to answer to a bigger, parent company. However, he says there will be plenty of connecting opportunities to other locations. Tucker adds they're going to be using smaller, Piper Navajo Chieftan planes.
