Frontier Airlines mulls dropping Lincoln to Scottsbluff flight
Frontier Airlines officials say a scheduling committee is weighing three options for Nebraska routes including keeping current jets or adding one or two. The Lincoln Scottsbluff flight runs nightly from Dallas through Kansas City to Lincoln, with a 20 to 30 percent load factor, well below the 50 percent breakeven. The carrier seeks board approval to reduce Nebraska service from five to four daily round trips, citing losses, and Sidney is listed to lose a daily flight.
