Westlake, Ohio-based CommuteAir, a regional airline primarily operating more than 1,600 weekly flights, exclusively on behalf of United Express (United Airlines), has announced it is closing its Lincoln Airport maintenance facility in Lincoln, Nebraska, “due to operational challenges and business needs."
The closure will impact approximately 100 employees commencing on July 18, 2025.
According to a company spokesperson, "We have made the difficult decision to close our maintenance base in Lincoln, Nebraska. We are incredibly grateful to the Lincoln community and the Lincoln Airport for their long-standing support and partnership. This decision was not made lightly, and we deeply appreciate everything the Lincoln team and community have contributed to CommuteAir.”
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall, why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
