MILWAUKEE (October 31, 2017) – Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele has announced the kickoff of OneJet’s expanded nonstop service at General Mitchell International Airport (MKE). With the expanded service, OneJet now has twice-daily service to Columbus, Omaha, and Pittsburgh.
‘When OneJet started service at MKE two years ago, we knew it was going to be a big success, and we are pleased that OneJet is growing by adding flights, destinations, and employees right here in Milwaukee,” County Executive Abele said. “We are very proud to be chosen as the second base of operation for OneJet.”
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. With the expansion, OneJet now flies a total of 60 nonstop flights to and from the Milwaukee area each week. Tickets can be booked at www.onejet.com.
“Today’s celebration of new nonstop flights to Columbus and Omaha, along with its existing OneJet service to Pittsburgh, will be a huge hit with travelers looking to access these markets nonstop,” added Airport Director Brian Dranzik.

MKE is served by Air Canada, Alaska, Allegiant, American, Delta, Frontier, OneJet, Southwest, United, and Volaris. The complete list of nonstop cities can be found at www.mitchellairport.com.

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
