A state holiday in Massachusetts, Patriots Day commemorates the first battles of the

opportunity for our community to visit and make lasting memories next April, stated
Mark Sheldon, Chair of the Airport Board of Directors.
Seeing an increased demand for these events, Delta plans to operate the nonstop
flights on a Delta Connection 76-seater aircraft. Scheduled to arrive at ECP by 11:00
a.m., departing at 12:00 p.m., with plenty of time to partake in the festivities.
