SkyWest’s Southern Utah roots run deep. The largest regional airline in the world, its headquarters have been in St. George since it was founded in 1972.
Its first scheduled flight operated from St. George to Salt Lake City with a stop in Cedar City – a route the airline still serves, albeit now with much larger, dual-class aircraft. Today, SkyWest partners with the world’s largest premier airlines and boasts nearly 500 aircraft carrying 40 million passengers throughout North America each year.
SkyWest has served St. George Regional Airport for more than 50 years. Travelers flying SGU can access destinations worldwide via SkyWest’s partnerships with Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and American Airlines, along with the many perks of their frequent flyer programs.
Delta Air Lines has direct flights from Salt Lake City to international destinations like Calgary, London, Paris and Amsterdam. From Denver, United Airlines has direct flights to Tokyo, Frankfurt and Mexico City. American Airlines flies directly from Dallas-Fort Worth to Madrid, Paris and Auckland, and their Phoenix hub can connect you to Cancun, Honolulu or Miami.
“SkyWest is proud to connect St. George to the world,” Childs said. “Our focus has always been to provide exceptional air service, and the SkyWest team of more than 13,000 professionals does an outstanding job delivering that service.”
