SkyWest Airlines has announced plans for a new summer route connecting Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) to Pellston Regional Airport (PLN) in Michigan, aiming to enhance regional connectivity in the Midwest. The route will operate under the United Express brand and will not require government subsidies. The airline will utilize CRJ200 aircraft and is expected to generate significant revenue for Pellston Regional Airport. The new route will add to the existing Delta Connection service currently operated by SkyWest from Pellston to Detroit, offering passengers greater connectivity to major urban centers. This expansion reflects the commitment of SkyWest and United to supporting underserved communities and promoting economic development in regional areas.
