Frontier Airlines says it will cut 11 flights out of Milwaukee and put 125 workers on furlough effective June 1.

Flights on the chopping block include nonstop service from Milwaukee to New York LaGuardia, Columbus, Indianapolis, Nashville, Omaha and Pittsburgh.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported the airline will still have direct flights from Milwaukee to Denver, Orlando, Washington, D.C., and Rhinelander, Wisc.

Frontier has steadily lost market share at Milwaukee since it took over Midwest Airlines in 2009.

Frontier's parent company is Indianapolis-based Republic Airways Holdings.

    Are any direct flights to-from Milwaukee left? It's such a pain to stop over in Chicago, you could practically walk from there to Milwaukee, which, by the way, is a major destination city not some little out of the way spot on a map. I thought services existed to make things easier, not harder.

  1. these guys only skill was to steal from other's hard earned savings.

  2. I voted for him last time and it WAS the LAST time. He needed to to quit running around the world on useless trips, and giving our $$ away to sports teams. I'll vote for anyone but Ballard next time. BTW...we gave $40M to the Pacers and cannot even watch the games on TV.

  3. For the people concerned about traffic, you should know that mixed-use projects (like the one being proposed), actually allows for and encourages more people to walk and bike, thereby mitigating additional automobile traffic. If we continue to design and build suburban-type projects in the City (i.e. automobile-oriented projects), we are not offering anything different from what the suburbs offer, which means we will continue to lose jobs/people to the suburbs. The reason Broad Ripple is somewhat successful today is that people want to live in a place that offers the convenience of being able to walk/bike to restaurants, retail, nightlife, the Monon, etc. Why would you not want to support a project that is complimentary to what already makes the area desirable? The real argument with this project should be its lack-luster design and layout, not the density.

  4. It is unfortunate that there is a perception that celebrities validate an event. The Indy 500 stands on its own, especially for those coming in from out of town. It was always so disturbing to read the gushing descriptions of Ashley Judd threaded throughout the local coverage. Very happy that era is at an end.

  5. Good ole' Obamacare. Thanks liberals and those who didn't bother to vote.
