Help passing arraylist to another class

[adlb1300]

I'm writing a program that asks the user to input information regarding airline flights. The data is being collected by arraylists. I have created a class called Flight which I want to pass the completed arraylists to. Another class called Search is than going to based on the users request use the flight class to find and retrieve the matching flight data. I'm having trouble passing the arraylists to the Flight class which is holding up the program. I receive and error that states cannot find symbol; symbol: constructor Flight; location: class Flight. The constructor is in the class so not sure why it cannot find it. Here is my code:

Code:

Code:

public class FlightInterface implements ActionListener {
    ...
    ArrayList<String> airlineArray = new ArrayList<String>();
    ArrayList<String> flightNumArray = new ArrayList<String>();
    ArrayList<String> originArray = new ArrayList<String>();
    ArrayList<String> destinationArray = new ArrayList<String>();
    ...
            // This next statement is using a constructor whose
            // method signature looks like this:
            //Flight(ArrayList<String> list1, ArrayList<String> list2,
            //       ArrayList<String> list3, ArrayList<String> list4)
            // so the jvm looks for it in the Flight class. The only
            // constructor available has a method signature like this:
            //Flight(String s1, String s2, String s3, String s4)
            Flight Flight = new Flight(airlineArray, flightNumArray,

        // to initialize member variables.
        // The member variable airlineName is null/not_initialized.
        // So the next line will get a return value of null from
