According to a press release from the airport, SkyWest Airlines has added additional flights the week of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s. “It is an exciting time for our community as our customers have proven that there is a demand for increased air service in Southwest Wyoming,” said Devon Brubaker, Airport Director. “SkyWest Airlines has been a great partner to our community for many years and they have once again stepped up and dedicated limited resources to our community in a time where the airline industry is starved for pilots and regional aircraft.”
