As a result of a pilot shortage having an acute impact on\nthe regional airline industry, SkyWest Airlines, Inc. operator of United\nExpress service at the Salina Regional Airport filed a notice to terminate\ntheir service at 29 regional airports across the country. Salina Regional\nAirport was part of this original filing on March 10, 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Friday, June 24, SkyWest Airlines, Inc. filed a\nWithdrawal of Termination Notice for Salina, KS with the U.S. Department of\nTransportation. The withdrawal ends weeks of uncertainty concerning the\ncontinuation of United Express flights operated by SkyWest Airlines at the\nSalina Regional Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Salina passengers can be reassured that United Express\nflights to Denver and Chicago will continue without interruption. Monthly and\nweekly passenger enplanements at the Salina Airport continue to set new record\nhighs when compared to prior years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Record passenger enplanements are a result of SkyWest\u2019s\npartnership with United Airlines and Salina community leaders. SkyWest and\nUnited have demonstrated their ability to grow the Salina market and connect\nSalina to national and international destinations. SkyWest\u2019s United Express\nservice has been a key factor in Salina\u2019s recent economic growth that has been\nled by the CJ Group (Seoul, South Korea) and Kubota (Osaka, Japan).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kent Buer, Chairman of the Salina Airport Authority board of\ndirectors said \u201cthis is good news for the Salina region and for the airport.\nUnited Airlines has a strong following in Salina and the service offered by\nSkyWest Airlines has been nothing short of exemplary. We thank SkyWest leadership for their efforts\nto keep the Salina Airport as part of their system.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
