Thanks to Republic Airways' entrance into the Milwaukee airport, Wisconsin is set to receive a little boost in its employment.
Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle announced that Republic Airways will establish a hub at Milwaukee General Mitchell International Airport, which will result in an additional 800 jobs for local residents and more options for Milwaukee flights. The job functions include flight crews, aircraft maintenance and technical support, and jobs at a local reservations call center.
Republic Airways purchased Midwest Airlines and Frontier Airlines earlier this year. Republic Airways Holdings, Inc. is based in Indianapolis, and owns six airlines operating in the
United States: Chautauqua Airlines, Midwest Airlines, Republic
Airlines, Shuttle America, Frontier Airlines, and Lynx Aviation.
