| It’s official: Rockford lands Ireland flights
Twice-weekly flights between Rockford and Shannon, Ireland, will start June 26, according to Kenny Tours. The Maryland-based company signed a deal Thursday with North American Airlines to fly the route through Aug. 31, said Bob Nay, Kenny Tours' director of sales and marketing. The flights will be Thursdays and Sundays. Round-trip airfares start at $888, including taxes and airport fees. Six-night motor coach tours, including airfare and hotels, start at $1,489. Six-night bed-and-breakfast stays, including airfare and car rental, start at $1,489. The seasonal model is similar to Chicago Rockford International Airport's other international route, Apple Vacations' weekly flights to Cancun, Mexico, in the winter. But the Ireland flights will be on Boeing 757s with almost 200 seats, which would be the largest plane used on a regularly scheduled passenger route from Rockford.

Year in review: Rental car industry finishes tumultuous year
In the rental car business, 2007 was a year of consolidation and retrenchment.
At the beginning of the year, industry insiders told the New York Times that two Tulsa-based rental car companies, Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group Inc. and Vanguard Car Rental USA Inc. were in merger talks on a deal that could be worth $3 billion.
Weeks later, on March 30, St. Louis-based Enterprise Rent-A-Car announced it was acquiring Vanguard.
At the time the deal was an nounced, Vanguard had 10,000 employees, 700 of them in Tulsa. Enterprise had 64,500 employees, including about 100 in Tulsa.
The merger was completed in August. By October, 300 of Vanguard's 700 Tulsa-based employees had been laid off or transferred, company executives said.
Dollar Thrifty also had a tumultuous year, marked by layoffs from lower to management levels as the company sought to cope with higher car and fleet financing costs.
