In another blow to Milwaukee's declining level of air service, Frontier Airlines said Monday it will cut 11 flights out of Mitchell International Airport and furlough about 125 employees, effective June 1. (www.jsonline.com) 기타...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
However, one of the primary reasons they are losing so much $ on MKE is because they started dismantling the network Midwest had that allowed for connections through MKE, in order to focus on DEN. There were still some connecting options offered through MKE until this April, but with only 1 or 2 flights a day on most routes, it made it hard to build connections through the city.
Well, on the good side, it looks like some of the other carriers may take up the slack and with the increase in revenue, it appears that Frontier is making the right decisions and $ is what it's all about, whether we like it or not. It does appear from the article though that some subsidy money was available from city/state. That surely had to be looked at too.
True, Air Tran jumped right in there but as soon as the Southwest merger is complete, it will be bye-bye to all those routes Air Tran flew from MKE...
It will be interesting. Kelly made the comment in the article that they will be looking at it. Seems to me that was an AirTran hub so they might not sluff it off.
and now the folks at the airport in conjunction with the 128th are working on a way to get rid of General Aviation on the field as well. What the heck is going on?
Hate to see this, but not surprised.
