FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 30, 1997
SKYWEST
BEGINS NEW UNITED EXPRESS SCHEDULE AT
SANTA BARBARA
EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 1997
ST. GEORGE, UT (NASDAQ:SKYW) -- SkyWest Airlines begins a new marketing affiliation beginning October 1, 1997 when the airline starts new United Express service at Santa Barbara Municipal Airport. The change comes as part of SkyWests plan to broaden its affiliation with United Airlines, the largest airline in California and the #1 carrier at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
As part of the transition, SkyWest will provide fifteen daily United Express roundtrips between Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. SkyWest service to San Diego and San Jose will also operate under the United Express banner with three and five daily roundtrips, respectively. All SkyWest United Express flights will incorporate cabin-class Brasilia aircraft featuring in-flight snack and beverage service, a lavatory and overhead/underseat storage areas.
"Were excited about our new association with United Airlines," said SkyWest Vice President - Market Development, Steven Hart. "Not only will our Central Coast customers get all the benefits associated with United whenever they fly SkyWest United Express service, but they can also continue to rely upon the same friendly in-flight service and reliable, convenient schedules theyve come to expect when travelling on SkyWest."
It should be noted that SkyWests United Express service at Santa Barbara will be limited to Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose and that flights to those points have been designated with 5000-series flight numbers. Passengers travelling on other United Express services from Santa Barbara to San Francisco or Sacramento will actually be flying on partner United Express carrier, WestAir, under 7000-series flight numbers.
All United Express passengers should utilize United Airlines ticket counter and gate facilities at Santa Barbara Municipal Airport. At Los Angeles, United Express passengers accustomed to making a ground transfer between the Remote Terminal at LAX and Uniteds Main Terminal facilities will no longer have to do so. SkyWests United Express operation at Los Angeles will utilize Gates 67 and 69 in Terminal 6, which are adjacent to United gates in that terminal, along with Terminals 7 and 8.
As of October 1, SkyWest will operate nearly 300 daily United Express departures to 15 cities in California, Arizona, Nevada and Utah. SkyWest also operates as the Delta Connection from its hub at Salt Lake City and provides both Delta Connection and Continental Connection service in selected California markets. SkyWest is the nations eighth largest regional airline.
