Midwest Express Airlines (Milwaukee General Mitchell) is planning to start operations in late 2019 or early 2020, although it has yet to start selling tickets or even publish a precise schedule.
As reported by local TV station CBS58, President Greg Aretakis said at a meeting with the Independent Business Association of Wisconsin (IBAW) that the start-up had its infrastructure almost ready and will start selling tickets very soon.
The virtual carrier will use the brand of defunct Midwest Airlines (Milwaukee General Mitchell), which was taken over by Frontier Airlines (F9, Denver International) in 2009. Flights from Milwaukee General Mitchell to Omaha Eppley, Grand Rapids, MI, and Cincinnati International will be operated by Elite Airways (MNU, Portland International Jetport) using a CRJ200 regional jet seating 50 passengers.
