Westward Airways was a regional airline based inScottsbluff, Nebraska.[1] It ceased flight operations on July 25, 2005.[2]
The airline was established in 2002 and started operations on June 1, 2004, with flights on a Scottsbluff - North Platte - Kearney - Lincoln - Omaha route also known as "the river route".[1] On November 30, 2004, a new operation was created in New Mexico linking Albuquerque with Alamogordo, Gallup, Las Cruces, and Taos. In early July 2005, Westward Airways halted services to Alamogordo and a few other cities. As the Albuquerque to Alamogordo route was subsidized under Essential Air Service, the airline was ordered to maintain operating this route. Flights were reinstated for a few more days but operations were stopped altogether on July 25, 2005.[3]
