Great Lakes Airlines to drop Gillette service

Posted:

       GILLETTE, Wyo. (AP) _ Great Lakes Airlines is dropping its
service to Gillette Campbell County Airport on May 17.
       Great Lakes had provided two round trips per day between
Gillette and Denver on its 19-seat aircraft.
       The departure marks the end of a 13-year relationship between
the airport and the Cheyenne-based airline, which for years offered
the only flights to and from Gillette.
       Airport Director Jay Lundell says that competition from new
airlines and opportunities in other cities made it more profitable for
Great Lakes to look for business elsewhere.
       Lundell says SkyWest Airlines could help to fill the void.
       SkyWest now runs three daily round-trip flights between Denver
in Gillette on a 30-seat plane.
