A comeback for Midwest Express? Effort is underway

The "Best Care in the Air" could be returning to the skies. The website www.flymidwestexpress.com, which was registered Feb. 15 but apparently didn't have much content until this week, says two business partners are seeking investors as well as potential employees in an effort to bring back Midwest Express airline. One of the partners is Curt Drumm of Manitowoc, Wis. "We weren’t ready to make a public announcement of any kind yet, and we still are not," Drumm said. "But, yes, we are trying to bring Midwest back to Milwaukee." "We are in the process of fundraising and are trying to lock in our key investors," Drumm added. To launch a new airline, even one that is a known brand, would require a minimum of $100m in investments, airline industry experts said. "We have a number of people we are working with, and because of that we can’t really make any announcement," Drumm said.<br/>
