Airport Looks to Land Carrier

Chippewa Valley Airport managers are open to SkyWest’s return.

The airport is in the middle of choosing a new air carrier. Both SkyWest, which served the Chippewa Valley til 2022, and Sun Country, which currently serves the airport, are bidding for the job. SkyWest is promising daily flights to Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, while Sun County is promising similar service to what they currently offer, which is three flights a week to the Minneapolis-St. Paul, and two flights a week to “seasonal destinations.”

While airport managers will have some say, the federal Department of Transportation will ultimately make the final decision.
