SHUTTLE AMERICA ADDS ALBANY.(BUSINESS)

Byline: LARA JAKES Capitol bureau

The first flight between Albany and Buffalo had a record-breaking 39 passengers on board; the second, only 12. But that's not counting the pack of special guests who climbed into 50-seat Shuttle America plane Tuesday morning for a quick inspection of the low-price carrier connecting Albany to five other Northeast destinations.

``You going to see the plane?'' quipped Gov. George Pataki, loping toward the tarmac where the $10 million craft, headed to Buffalo, awaited its passengers on its first day of cross-state service. He deplaned before the shuttle took to the skies, but not before checking out the sleek craft.
