MILWAUKEE (October 3, 2017) – Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele has announced a major expansion of OneJet at General Mitchell International Airport (MKE), which will include two new nonstop destinations and the addition of a Milwaukee operating base.
The air service announcement includes new nonstop service from MKE to Columbus, Ohio (CMH) and Omaha, Nebraska (OMA) beginning November 1. OneJet currently offers twice-daily service from MKE to Pittsburgh. OneJet's new operating base at MKE is expected to add 30-50 jobs within the next six months, including local pilots, mechanics and staff.
“The opening of OneJet’s base of operation at MKE creates jobs and shows that Milwaukee is on the leading edge of this new business model providing nonstop access to important destinations in the Midwest,” County Executive Abele said. “The new service to Columbus and Omaha is outstanding news for travelers who need same-day flights to/from these cities.”
“Milwaukee has proven to be an exceptional market for OneJet service, and this expansion underscores our commitment to bring nonstop service to important but unserved nonstop markets from MKE,” said Matthew Maguire, OneJet CEO. “We look forward to working with County Executive Abele and the Milwaukee Airport team as we evaluate additional growth in our network.”

2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
