ATA Airlines to Discontinue Scheduled Service at Chicago's Midway Airport
INDIANAPOLIS, March 6 /PRNewswire/ -- ATA Airlines today 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 includeOakland, Calif., and Dallas/Ft. Worth,
and the international routes include Cancun andGuadalajara,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 ofChicago 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."
All customers currently booked on discontinued ATA flights will receive
refunds for the unused portions of their reservations. For questions, contact
ATA at 800-435-9282 or visit the website, http://www.ata.com .
In its 35th year of operations, ATA is a subsidiary of Global Aero
Logistics Inc.
