Hayden Airport Replaces Ground Operator, Completes Atlantic Aviation Expansion Ahead of Busy Winter Flight Season
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — Less than a month before local flights ramp up for the winter season, a new ground service operator is set to replace SkyWest at the Yampa Valley Regional Airport.
The transition comes after SkyWest, one of two companies contracted to provide ground service at the airport in Hayden, announced it would be departing in December.
United Ground Express, a subsidiary of United Airlines, will handle the ground services for two of the airport’s five carriers — United and Alaska airlines — for the foreseeable future. G2 Secure Staff will continue to work with American Airlines and Jet Blue. G2 added Delta Air Lines to its roster, which previously was with SkyWest, amid the transition.
