MEMPHIS, TN- (WMC-TV) - There is a new airline coming to the Mid-South and it will be based in the Bluff City.

Southern Airways Express is described as a "private jet experience that is affordable for the general public".

Prop planes frequent the General Dewitt Spain Airport and the Olive Branch Airport, but next month, you can expect to see planes of a different type.

"You don't pay for parking, you don't show up two hours ahead to go through security hassles, you can bring all the shampoo you want on the plane, you don't pay for bag fees," said Southern Airways Express Chief Operating Officer Keith Sisson. "We are flying nine seat aircraft that have been outfitted with a VIP executive luxury package."

DESOTO COUNTY, MS- (WMC-TV) - A new substation is open in DeSoto County aimed at keeping its residents safer.

The new substation is located on the east side of the county in Olive Branch. It currently shares a building with a car dealership but it is fully operational and will aim to get help the sheriff's office respond quicker to that side of the county.

"The bottom line is the response time has been inadequate in Sheriff Rasco's eyes," said Dick Hackett, DeSoto County Sheriff's Department.

There is a lot of distance between the sheriff's office in Hernando and the east side of DeSoto County.

"Just traveling from here to Hernando back and fourth, that's an hour. You've wasted an hour," said Sheriff Rasco.

Citizens in the east part of the county will also benefit by not having to drive to the county seat to fill out a report.
