Jet Fuel Costs Push Midwest Air to End Flights to 11 Cities

[Manuel]

The Midwest Air Group will cut daily flights to 11 United States cities including Baltimore, San Diego, St. Louis and two Florida destinations as the carrier grounds a third of its fleet to counter soaring fuel costs.

Midwest will stop flying on Sept. 8 to Fort Lauderdale and Fort Myers in Florida, as well as to San Diego, the company said in a statement on Sunday. The airline will keep its service to Los Angeles and Seattle, though passengers will travel through Kansas City, Mo., as they do on its San Francisco route, the company said.
