Director updates board on SkyWest transition and airline staffing timelines
Summary
Staff said SkyWest and associated carriers are ramping up training and hiring ahead of service changes; Denver start dates differ from Salt Lake, and the board was told IT, branding and training windows remain under negotiation.
Airport staff updated the board on the SkyWest transition, noting hiring and training are underway with separate timelines for Denver and Salt Lake operations. The director said Salt Lake training starts earlier while Denver requires a longer training window and is scheduled to begin around the 7th.
"Salt Lake starts on the 1st. Denver starts on the 7th," the Airport Director said, and staff noted United and other partners have differing training durations. The director said airline IT and branding logistics were still being worked out, and that staff were coordinating with carriers to address training conflicts for current Contour employees who may wish to transfer to SkyWest.
