Airlines Jobs : SkyWest Airlines Plans to Cut 170 jobs from Salt Lake City Airport
August 17, 2011 | Airlines Companies
SkyWest Airlines has announced it will cut 170 positions from its Salt Lake City workforce.
The Deseret News reports that some baggage handler and ticket agent jobs at Salt Lake International Airport will be eliminated.
Airline spokeswoman Marissa Snow says the layoffs are a result of service reductions on several daily flights.
She says the cuts would be effective late next month for the SkyWest employees who serve Delta Connection flights.
St. George-based SkyWest employs about 11,000 workers in more than 160 locations nationwide, including about 3,000 in Utah.

On Friday, Delta grounded its five-times-a-week flight from Salt Lake City International Airport to Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris until further notice. The airline didn’t act Thursday because it wasn’t scheduled to fly that day.
