Southwest Airlines said today it will cut one of its six, daily nonstop flights from Pittsburgh to Chicago starting on Jan. 11, as part of a round of cut-backs to combat high fuel costs and a slower economy.
Southwest plans to reduce its current schedule nationally by 196 flights, or nearly 6 percent of its nearly 3,400 daily flights. It will also add six new flights between Baltimore and Orlando and within the West. The carrier is not eliminating service to any of the more than 60 airports it currently serves.
At the end of June, the Dallas-based carrier had said that it's cutting one of the seven, daily round-trip flights from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia as of Nov. 2.
The carrier currently operates 24, nonstop flights a day from Pittsburgh International Airport to six destinations: Chicago Midway, Philadelphia, Baltimore/Washington, Orlando, Tampa Bay and Las Vegas airports.
