The Inside Story On Skywest Air Carriers

By Lucius Hydro Xavier


With the burgeoning popularity of regional airlines in the US, you may want to consider Skywest Airlines. They are one of the top regional airlines in the western part of America. In its early years, it only served Utah, where it's still based, but today it connects many different cities in the West and Midwest. Even though Skywest Airlines partners with larger airlines and handles flights for them, it has remained independently owned. This article will give you a closer look at Skywest Airlines and how it can benefit you.

Ralph Atkin started Skywest Airlines in 1972 as an airline that only traveled between the Utah cities of St. George and Salt Lake City. At the time, it served the needs of a few hundred businessmen who frequently traveled between these two cities in Utah. Over 100 cities in Canada and the United States are served by Skywest Airlines after they partnered with larger airlines including Delta, Air Tran, United and most recently, Alaska Airlines. Through these partnerships, the U.S. cities in the West Coast, Mid-West and Southwest regions are served. After its small start forty years ago, Skywest now provides almost 1500 departures daily.

If you or anyone you're traveling with has special needs, you should verify that Skywest Airlines is able to accommodate this. It stands to reason that Skywest Airlines, which is a smaller regional carrier, won't be able to offer all of the benefits of a larger carrier. A good example of something that isn't available on Skywest Airlines' flights is therapeutic oxygen. The need for this would necessitate using another airline. If you need wheelchair access, check to make sure the plane you will be flying on can accommodate wheelchairs. Some of the planes can, but some cannot.

In addition to being partnered with Delta and United, two major airlines, Skywest Airlines now owns Atlantic Southeast, another regional airline. Atlantic Southeast Airlines has a large website that keeps people updated on its latest offerings and those of its partners. While Skywest mainly serves the Western region of the U.S., Atlantic Southeast helps passengers who are traveling in the Southeast or Midwest. If you need to fly to Sacramento, San Diego, or San Antonio from the Houston, Texas area, you can now choose ExpressJet, which recently became a subsidiary of Atlantic Southeast Airlines. Between Skywest Airlines and its partners, you will find an incredible number of options when you put together your next flight using the regional airlines.

In conclusion, the Western region of the U.S. is well-served by Skywest Airlines and their convenient flights. Using their partners, you can plan a trip to just about anywhere. Taking shorter flights for pleasure or business is one gap that is filled by Skywest Airlines. Visit the website of either a partner or their website to gain more information about Skywest Airlines.

People travel for many motives. One of these is to relocate to a different working location. When you're moved out of the nation, it can cause a lot of stress. One thing that can add to this stress is if your new country has different driving laws and conditions. You can make it simple on yourself by buying a car that is set up like cars in your home nation. This is much easier than it may seem.
