(Monroe-AP) -- Continental Airlines will pull its jet service
from Monroe Regional Airport on November first, and Monroe is one
of eight cities competing for replacement service from Sky West
Airlines.
Sky West Airlines would operate under the Continental Connection
banner, but Sky West has only enough planes to serve four of the
eight cities.
Ken Talley, director of properties and facilities for Sky West,
said the airline is seeking incentives, including cash, from
prospective markets to offset start-up costs.
Rod Washington, a city spokesman, said he will explore possible
incentives.
Continental is one of three commercial carriers serving Monroe
Regional. The others are A-S-A Delta, the dominant carrier, and
Northwest.
If Sky West does bring service to Monroe, its aircraft will be
30-seat propeller planes. Continental serves the market with
regional jets.

Too bad. My in-laws live close to there and have used CO several times to connect through IAH. Guess they'll either go to SHV or fly NW or DL if this happens.
