    Air Midwest (Not Midwest Airlines) to Cease Operations

    Air Midwest to cease service
    BY JERRY SIEBENMARK
    The Wichita Eagle

    Wichita-based Air Midwest said today that it will begin to cease operations later this month.

    The wholly owned subsidiary of Phoenix-based Mesa Air Group said high fuel prices, low demand and "a difficult operating environment" has led to the action.

    The airline, which operates 20 Beech 1900D turboprop airliners, will stagger its closing starting May 23, when it will shutter its East Coast operations.

    It will close its West Coast operations on May 31 and Midwest operations on June 30.
    Mesa's CEO announced this in January, but this is apparently the first solid news of it actually happening.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    What large airline did Air Midwest fly for? I can't remember.
