Southwest cutting flights in Reno, Las Vegas
By Reno Gazette-Journal
Reno-Tahoe International Airport is losing six Southwest Airlines flights this fall as part of nationwide cutbacks totaling 106, the Las Vegas Sun reported Wednesday, though an airport spokesman said he hopes the Reno flights eventually will resume.
As part of a schedule change by Southwest, Reno is losing six flights with one round trip each eliminated to and from Boise, Idaho; Los Angeles; Oakland, Calif.; Phoenix; Portland, Ore.; and San Jose, Calif, the Sun reported.
“We expect the flights to return,” Reno airport spokesman Brian Kulpin said Wednesday night, describing the cuts as seasonal and not usual.
“That is what we have been told, and hopefully, that will be the case,” Kulpin said when asked about any assurances from Southwest.
