Great Lakes Aviation
Great Lakes Aviation was a regional airline based in Cheyenne, Wyoming, that operated from 1977 to 2018. The airline primarily served small and mid-sized cities in the United States, focusing on the Great Lakes region. However, it faced financial difficulties and eventually ceased operations.
Great Lakes Aviation operated as a regional affiliate for larger airlines, such as United Express and Frontier Airlines. It provided scheduled passenger services to various destinations, including Chicago, Denver, Minneapolis, Phoenix, and more. The airline primarily used turboprop aircraft, such as the Beechcraft 1900, to serve its routes.
Over the years, Great Lakes Aviation faced several challenges, including financial struggles and issues with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In 2013, the FAA temporarily suspended the airline's operating certificate due to concerns about its maintenance practices. This suspension severely impacted Great Lakes Aviation's operations and financial stability.
In 2018, Great Lakes Aviation officially ceased all operations and filed for bankruptcy. The airline cited ongoing challenges, including the cost of complying with FAA regulations, as contributing factors to its closure. Since then, Great Lakes Aviation has not resumed operations, and its aircraft have been retired or sold.
