Due to the late announcement of the new contract, SkyWest needs more time to set up new flight operations, which have been set for August…

Huizenga says Denver Air Connection will operate with a federal subsidy from U-S D-O-T for the extra time and not have to fly “at-large” and risk financial loses without one.
