SkyWest considering Boise for $20-30 million maintenance building

Boise Mayor Dave Bieter hopes that SkyWest Airlines’ decision to operate a temporary maintenance hangar out of Boise Airport places the city in the driver’s seat for a larger, permanent SkyWest expansion.

Bieter announced Friday during his State of the City address that SkyWest named Boise as a finalist for a new SkyWest maintenance building that would bring between 80 and 100 jobs here as well as $20 million to $30 million in construction investment.

"This is exciting news for our local economy and further evidence of the importance of Boise Airport in driving job expansion and new investment in our community," Bieter told the audience at Boise Centre.
