Big Sky ending DL BOS feed and North Country EAS routes

[Dont call me Shirley]

Even though the DL pages are pretty quiet these days, it's a bit surprising that little mention has been made of Big Sky's decision to pull out of the Northeast.

Big Sky Airlines will cease its East Coast operations, including flights from Boston’s Logan International Airport, at midnight on Jan. 7.

The Billings, Mont., carrier had only started that service in April as a Delta Connection code share partner that primarily operated out of Logan.

Has DL lined up someone to take over this flying?




BTW, Big Sky is also shutting down flying in the West, but that is probably better discussed on the Regional page.

Big Sky Airlines announced this week it would end East Coast flights on Jan. 7. The Billings-based company is liquidating its assets after five years of serious financial losses and problems with weather shutdowns, low demand and high fuels costs after expanding to the East Coast in April.

The non-EAS routes are not being replaced except for BOS-BGR, which will be taken over by RJs (I think Comair). The reason many of these routes transferred to Big Sky in the first place was because they did poorly.

The EAS flying will be put out to bidding to other regional airlines, but the one that gets it probably won't be code-sharing with Delta (Great Lakes or Mesaba).
