The airline flew to ten cities from San Diego's Lindbergh Field. ExpressJet had announced previously it would no longer serve four of them – Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Omaha, and Bakersfield.
Now services to Fresno, Monterey, Santa Barbara, Boise, Idaho, Colorado Springs, and Spokane will be discontinued as well, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
ExpressJet's exodus, in addition to other airline route cuts, means there will be fewer flight options and potentially higher fares for travelers, Brown said.
For instance, ExpressJet passengers who used to be able to fly direct to Spokane will have to get connecting flights from Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco or Seattle with other airlines.
"It's a supply-demand exercise," Brown said. "If there are only five bananas at the store and the demand for bananas is the same, the price of bananas is going to rise."
