SkyWest to add daily nonstop flights to Dallas

SkyWest Airlines will add nonstop air service from St. George to Dallas/Fort Worth beginning in September. The service, on American Eagle flights operated by SkyWest, will depart St. George in the early morning and return in the afternoon. With the major airlines serving Dallas/Fort Worth, passengers will now be able to connect to literally anywhere in the world, SkyWest said in a release.{mprestriction ids="1,3"}

“We’re excited to add American Eagle service to Dallas this September, providing even more options for St. George travelers,” said Chip Childs, SkyWest Inc. president and CEO. “Southern Utah is growing quickly and this new flight will ensure travelers enjoy unparalleled air service on three major airline brands to five major hubs that literally connect St. George to the world.”

“When the current airport opened eight years ago, we only had flights to one destination. Now, our customers can fly in every direction,” said St. George Mayor Jon Pike. “The connectivity we provide from St. George, along with our low parking rates, short security lines and great service, make St. George Regional Airport a great choice.”

The American Eagle flights from St. George to Dallas/Fort Worth will be on Canadair Regional Jet 200 aircraft with seating for 50 passengers.{/mprestriction}
