(CNN) — Small but mighty, the state of Delaware has a long and proud history as one of the original 13 colonies, becoming a state in 1776 two months after the signing of the US Declaration of Independence. What the second-smallest US state -- with a total area of just 1,982 square miles -- doesn't have right now is regular commercial airline service. It's the only state in the union without it, according to Airports Council International, an industry trade group. Even the smallest US state, Rhode Island, has commercial flights out of T.F. Governor John Carney/TwitterDelaware Governor John Carney announced the airline's return on his weekly schedule"We're pleased to welcome Frontier back to the State of Delaware and the Wilmington -- New Castle Airport," said Carney.
