ATA Airlines to discontinue scheduled service at Chicago’s midway airport

3/7/2008 10:13:38 AM

ATA Airlines yesterday announced that it will discontinue domestic scheduled service at Midway Airport effective April 14, 2008, and international service will cease effective June 7, 2008. The affected ATA domestic markets include Oakland, Calif., and Dallas/Ft. Worth, and the international routes include Cancun and Guadalajara, Mexico. Flights between the West Coast and Hawaii destinations are not affected. “ATA has operated a Midway hub since 1992, and we have greatly appreciated the support we received from the City of Chicago and our many customers during those years,” said Rob Binns, Chief Commercial and Planning Officer. “This was a difficult decision, but the high cost of fuel has made it economically unfeasible to continue our low-fare service at Midway. We will redeploy our ATA aircraft in profitable charter service." Air Transport News
