Midwest Express Airlines is scheduled to announce today that it plans to offer twice-daily service between Milwaukee and Baltimore-Washington International Airport beginning Jan. 31, state aviation officials said.
The Milwaukee-based regional airline will become the third carrier to begin new service at BWI since the terrorist attacks Sept. 11 sent the aviation industry into a tailspin. Earlier, AirTran Airways and Pan American Airways helped BWI recover some of the business it lost as major airlines have curtailed flights and laid off thousands of workers.
Midwest Express will offer BWI travelers the only nonstop service between the two cities. The flights will be operated by Midwest's wholly owned subsidiary, Skyway Airlines. The carrier uses the Fairchild Aerospace 328Jet, a 32-seat jet that features reclining leather seats and a wide cabin. The airline caters to business-class passengers.
