Show Airline fools heat of competition in Vernal Is Vernal big enough for two air carriers? Sky West Airlines president Jerry Atkin wondered that before the Utah Air Transportation Transporta-tion Commission this week, and said his com- . pany may have to reevaluate its position in Vernal Ver-nal after starting service in March. The reason is the unexpected entry of Air Link into the Vernal-Denver market. Sky West enjoyed en-joyed a better than expected March, but Atkin Ihinks a fall off since then may be because of the loss of Denver passengers. Sky West boardings to Salt Lake City slipped from 710 in March to 587 in April and 535 in May, said Atkin. Air Link, the Denver-based commuter com-muter line, had 221 boardings in April and 227 in May. |
