Wow, maybe they should change their name to Empire?
Republic Airways of Indianapolis is buying Midwest Airlines. The deal is expected to close in about six weeks.
Tim Hoeksema, the outgoing CEO of Midwest, said that the sale was the right thing to do: "We've actually, in the last few months, have been in a position to generate just tiny, tiny little profit and start to come around. But to really make big strides and go back to growth and be competitive in a very competitive marketplace, this is clearly the right step for us."
Midwest Airlines will continue to operate under the same name. Republic said that the free chocolate chip cookies aren't going anywhere.
Travelers should not have to change their flight plans. It is unknown whether there will be cutbacks at the airline after the sale.
