Man stung by scorpion that stowed away in luggage

Seattle Post-Intelligencer

A 27-year-old man arriving at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport from Honolulu was stung by a scorpion as he claimed his luggage. Apparently, the arachnid was an accidental stowaway that boarded the Hawaiian Airlines flight on his or someone else's bag on Tuesday, airport officials said. It crawled onto his hand and stung him as he reached for his luggage. Someone else stepped on it and killed it.

Delta may add Atlantic City-Cincinnati service

Press of Atlantic City

Delta Air Lines may launch new jet service between Atlantic City and Cincinnati, a move that would give the resort's struggling airport its biggest boost since Continental Airlines abruptly pulled out following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Airport officials have been searching for a major carrier to help revive the sagging local air market. Atlantic City International's traffic plummeted 13 percent in the fourth quarter of 2001 following the terrorist attacks and was down 8.1 percent overall for the year, to 829,282 passengers. The airport suffered another setback when Continental, without warning, halted its Atlantic City-Cleveland jet service shortly after the attacks. The Cleveland route had started only months earlier and was being subsidized by $2 million in state guarantees.
