New shuttle service will connect Fox Valley to Mitchell Field

By Jim Butman

Residents of the Fox River Valley will have a new option for getting to and from Milwaukee's General Mitchell International Airport with the start of Airport Connection's Fox Valley Shuttle, which will begin Monday, April 16.

Having more access to Mitchell Airport will give area travelers a greater choice of airlines and flight schedules than those available at smaller regional airports.

Airport Connection will operate the Fox Valley Shuttle with stops in Appleton, Neenah, Oshkosh, Fond du Lac and Lomira. The company will provide 10 round trips each day.

Brian Dunn, the owner of Airport Connection, said there has long been a demand for another way to get from the valley to Mitchell International.

"Speaking to travel agents from the region, at least half the flights they book for clients are in or out of Mitchell Airport. Travelers booking flights themselves are pretty likely to be flying through Milwaukee as well," Dunn said. "Now people can get a ride to Mitchell with no fuss and for a reasonable price."

The company has been operating a shuttle service between Sheboygan and Mitchell International since 1983.

Dunn started the business in Sheboygan as Wisconsin Limousine Services. The company started with two vans making a few trips each day. The business grew and a Milwaukee office was opened in 1989. Today, Airport Connection is the largest shared-ride shuttle provider at General Mitchell Airport and transports more than 200,000 passengers each year, covering an area from Door County to northern Illinois and from Lake Michigan to Madison.
