"The Peninsula Airport Commission has been informed that Elite airways has chosen to temporarily suspend service from the Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport (PHF) due to the continuing negative and inaccurate headlines, which are preventing the introduction of this new brand properly to our community. The Commission and Elite Airways have a great working relationship, as well as, support for one another. We look forward to setting a new launch date with Elite over the next few months. We feel certain that Elite will find success out of the market, and that our community will enjoy their 'Elite Class' of service.

"The Peninsula Airport Commission values their relationships with all of its airline partners. Our airlines provide daily non-stop service to Atlanta, Charlotte and Philadelphia with connections throughout the world."
