Vernal Regional Airport Manager Ken Campbell presented to the Vernal Chamber last week an update on airport services. The transition from Skywest to Contour Air/American Airlines happened on February 1st with 2 daily flights to Phoenix. Campbell said the service has been excellent with reasonable prices. Red Tail Airlines is also providing service on Tuesdays and Thursdays to and from Salt Lake. Still, Campbell says the goal is to find more options out of Vernal. One thing that could help with this in the future is that Skywest announced early this month that it has purchased a 25 percent ownership of Contour Airlines. With many people missing prior services, this announcement means there may be future potential for a Denver connection.
