Skywest Gets Little Creatures On Board

4 September 2007

MEDIA RELEASE

Skywest Gets Little Creatures On Board

SKYWEST, WA’s own regional airline, is further enhancing its in-flight service experience by now offering premium beer by craft Western Australian brewery, Little Creatures Brewing.

Skywest Airlines and Fremantle based Little Creatures Brewing have teamed up to ensure there is a fabulous brew available on Skywest flights.

Little Creatures Pale Ale and Rogers’ Amber Ale are now available for purchase on all afternoon and evening flights as part of the in-flight Skybar. Pale Ale retails for $6 a bottle and Rogers’ beer for $5.

“At Skywest we believe it’s the little things that count. Our superior in-flight service remains our point of difference, and providing quality beer in-flight is just one component of that superior service” said Skywest’s Chief Executive Officer, Paul Daff.

Skywest Airlines operates to 15 destinations across Western Australia and interstate to Darwin. From 21 November it will also be flying Kalgoorlie to Melbourne.

“Wherever possible, we use Western Australian suppliers to complete the authentic WA experience for our passengers, from the stunning Linneys Pearls bracelets worn by our cabin crew to premium Dome coffee, Cookie Barrel cookies, Ferngrove Wines and now Little Creatures, it’s all WA made,” he said.

Little Creatures’ Brewing Sales Manager, Richard Sweet says he jumped at the chance to supply Skywest with Little Creatures beer on its flights.

“Little Creatures is a premium beer, and Skywest is a premium airline, so we see great synergy with our products,” said Mr Sweet.

Raider,

Many would pay $6 in a pub for the same beer so a cold one at 30K feet does not sound too bad if they have not already put it in your ticket.

What kind of airplanes do they fly at Skywest, WA? I work for Skywest Airlines, Inc in the USA - we fly CRJs (200,700,900). It sounds like you guys have some nice service going. Service is a thing of the past over here.

F50s and F100s mate. From what I hear the service is pretty good on both aircraft.

Apart from their unreliable aircraft (sometimes) they have good service but lack a FF program which i believe that one is coming which will help get more people on board if they can do something similar to DJ and offer international connections with "Partner" airlines.

The F100's are pretty comfy and roomy though, the 717 aint too bad if your at the front but the F100 is just nice!
