Service Operated by SkyWest Airlines
Pocatello, Idaho– SkyWest Airlines is excited to provide Pocatello passengers with a new travel option this summer – the jet! The once-daily Delta Air Lines jet service, operated by SkyWest Airlines, is scheduled to begin June 1. This new service will make it more convenient than ever to fly between Pocatello and Salt Lake City.
“This June, Pocatello customers will enjoy all the comfort, convenience and speed of our state-of-the-art jet aircraft,” said Mike Thompson, SkyWest Airlines vice president – Market Development. “We’re pleased to make Southeastern Idaho air travel better than ever with continued access to Delta’s global network – now onboard the jet.”
The once-daily jet service will compliment two daily roundtrips aboard the EMB 120 Brasilia aircraft, providing three well-timed weekday roundtrip flights to Salt Lake City. From there, Pocatello passengers can access hundreds of departures to destinations around the world via Delta’s global network.
SkyWest will operate the new jet service using the 50-passenger, Bombardier-manufactured Canadair Regional Jet 200 (CRJ200). SkyWest Airlines is a leading CRJ200 operator and recently received the manufacturer’s highest reliability award in North America.
