Independence Air will lay off 600 workers in the coming weeks as part of recent cost-cutting measures taken by the Dulles airline.
Most of Independence Air's layoffs will be at its Dulles headquarters, says company spokesman Rick DeLisi. The startup low-cost airline, which debuted in June 2004, also announced this week that it would eliminate West Coast service by Dec. 1 and cut the number of flights it operates at Dulles from 350 to 230 after Oct. 31.
