Historically, three airlines operated scheduled passenger jet service from the airport in the past. The original Frontier Airlines (1950-1986) flew Boeing 727-200 and 737-200 jetliners to Denver, Trans World Airlines (TWA) operated Boeing 727-200 flights to St. Louis and America West Airlines flew Boeing 737-200 aircraft to Phoenix. A number of these jet flights made an intermediate stop at the Colorado Springs Airport while en route to their primary destinations. According to Official Airline Guide (OAG) flight schedules, America West and TWA were both operating jet service from Pueblo at the same time during the late 1980s.
Prior to commencing jet service, the original Frontier Airlines operated nonstop and direct flights to Denver and Santa Fe, NM with Convair 580 turboprop aircraft and also flew direct services to Albuquerque, Phoenix, Tucson and other destinations in Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico. In addition, Continental Airlines served Pueblo in the early 1960s with Vickers Viscount four engine turboprop airliner flights to Denver, Albuquerque, Santa Fe and El Paso. In later years, Rocky Mountain Airways provided nonstop and direct service to Denver with de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter and DHC-7 Dash 7 turboprop aircraft.
Currently, Great Lakes Airlines is the only air carrier to serve Pueblo with scheduled passenger air service. This regional airline operates Beechcraft 1900D turboprop aircraft configured with 19 passenger seats from the airport.

Famous quotes containing the words airline and/or destination:
“My job as a reservationist was very routine, computerized ... I had no free will. I was just part of that stupid computer.”
—Beryl Simpson, U.S. employment counselor; former airline reservationist. As quoted in Working, book 2, by Studs Terkel (1973)
“A man’s destination is not his destiny,
Every country is home to one man
And exile to another. Where a man dies bravely
At one with his destiny, that soil is his.”
