SkyWest Airlines Inc., a subsidiary of SkyWest Inc. (SKYW), said that it has entered into a new marketing partnership with AirTran Airways, a subsidiary of AirTran Holdings Inc. (AAI), to operate five 50-seat Bombardier CRJ200 aircraft between Milwaukee's General Mitchell International Airport and six destinations.
Under the new partnership, it is anticipated that SkyWest Airlines will offer new nonstop service from Milwaukee to Akron/Canton, Ohio; Des Moines, Iowa; and Omaha, Neb.; and will add frequency from Milwaukee to Indianapolis, Ind.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; and St. Louis, Mo.
SkyWest Airlines will launch its first flights carrying the AirTran Airways' code from Milwaukee to Pittsburgh and St. Louis beginning December 4.
SkyWest Airlines' regional jet service between Milwaukee and six destinations will be sold in conjunction with AirTran jet service with revenue shared on a prorated basis. The aircraft will be placed into service between December 2009 and February 2010.
SkyWest Airlines said it will control local availability, authorization levels and use of all seat inventory for the aircraft used by SkyWest. SkyWest Airlines will assume fuel cost and will maintain all revenue and pricing responsibility for these routes.
