Default Re: Will Rogers losing flights

Champion closed down today after losing most of their charter contracts. Allegiant Air has been hired to replace them for MLT Worry Free.

ExpressJet is ending branded service in the next couple of months. Fuel costs are too high for them to make money. ExpressJet will continue to operate as a Continental Express and Delta Connection carrier and operate to OKC from Salt Lake, Newark, Houston, and Cleveland.

So far nothing specific out of American or United with their cutbacks. I wouldn't be shocked to see how lose a couple flights on American.

Needless to say...people aren't willing to pay higher fares that cover fuel costs, so airlines have to cut service to focus on only the high yeild passengers. So if you want cheap fares...kiss em good bye.
