Midwest Express comeback bid begins

The push to bring back Midwest Express Airlines has taken off, and could be flying high by 2020, a spokeswoman says. Investors have pumped the first round of funds into a plan to revive the former Oak Creek air carrier, known for its comfortable seats and warm chocolate chip cookies. So far, $750,000 has been raised from two unnamed investors, according to a report filed with the US SEC. Greg Aretakis, a former VP with Midwest Express and Frontier, is leading the charge to re-establish Midwest and is president of the new company. The airline would be based in Milwaukee, with plans to offer nonstop service to both business and leisure travellers. A spokeswoman declined to say how much money investors will need to get Midwest Express going. <br/>
