Milwaukee, Feb. 18, 2010 – Midwest Airlines today announced the launch of nonstop seasonal service between Milwaukee and both San Diego and Seattle/Tacoma.
“Midwest Airlines’ commitment to the Wisconsin market has never been stronger,” said Greg Aretakis, vice president of Revenue Production. “These service additions are in response to our customers’ requests for better service to the West. We are committed to offering Milwaukee’s most daily nonstop flights and best schedule to major destinations. Under the ownership of Republic Airways and in partnership with our sister airline, Frontier, we offer travelers the most complete package of West Coast service from Milwaukee, enhanced by convenient connections via Denver and Kansas City.”
“This is great news for Milwaukee and Wisconsin,” Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle said. “I want to thank Midwest Airlines for its commitment to adding more direct flights and growing here in Wisconsin. Midwest’s expanded service will help our state’s businesses, communities and overall economic growth.”
The new San Diego service takes off April 19 and the new Seattle/Tacoma service begins May 14. Midwest does not currently serve San Diego, though one-stop service is available via Denver on Frontier. The nonstop seasonal service to Seattle/Tacoma is in addition to one-stop service already offered by Midwest and Frontier. The new nonstop San Diego and Seattle/Tacoma flights join Midwest’s existing nonstop service to Los Angeles and nonstop seasonal service to San Francisco beginning April 19.
Service to San Diego will be provided on 136-seat Airbus A319 aircraft and service to Seattle/Tacoma will be provided on 99-seat Embraer 190 aircraft. Both aircraft feature an all-leather seating configuration and four rows of STRETCH seating with additional legroom at the front of the cabin, buy-onboard meals and snacks, and complimentary baked-onboard chocolate chip cookies. The A319s also offer 24 channels of DIRECTV® at each seat.
Introductory pricing beginning at $99 one way is now being offered on the routes. For flight information and reservations, visit midwestairlines.com or call the Midwest Airlines Contact Center at 800-452-2022.
Aretakis added that Midwest and Frontier together offer more than 100 daily flights from Wisconsin cities. He cited Frontier’s recent addition of nonstop service from both Green Bay and Madison to Denver as further evidence of the airlines’ dedication to serving the travel needs of Badger state residents. Additionally, on May 14 Frontier is launching an additional daily nonstop flight between Milwaukee and Denver, bringing the combined total of Midwest and Frontier flights on the route to six daily.
