L.A.-St. George route on SkyWest to end

SkyWest Airlines says it's discontinuing service between St. George and Los Angeles effective Sept. 2.

SkyWest Vice President Mike Thompson says soft demand for the twice-daily flights accounts for the decision.

The St. George-based airline says it will offer alternative flight plans for passengers who made reservations for a flight on the discontinued routes.

The airline says it has been forced to trim domestic schedules in other markets for the same reason.
