Flights to Chicago could be coming back to the Tri-State. According to media partner 14News, Owensboro-Daviess County Regional Airport was working to secure direct flights to Charlotte through Contour Airlines, after the loss of service to and from St. Louis and Nashville. On Wednesday officials announced the airport board voted to request direct flights on Contour Airlines to Chicago O’Hare Airport, instead of Charlotte. Officials say they hope approval from the Transportation Department could be within three to four weeks with flights possibly starting in early August.
