Contour Airlines will bring a new destination in central California into its route network this summer.
Starting July 1, the independent regional carrier will connect Merced, California, with Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Service to Los Angeles will operate daily, while service to Las Vegas will run five times per week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
Contour will operate the connections using 30-seat regional aircraft.
“These routes not only make travel more convenient for local residents and businesses but also support economic growth by strengthening Merced’s connectivity to key markets,” Contour President Ben Munson said in a news release. “We look forward to delivering a dependable and comfortable travel experience for all our passengers.”
Contour has been steadily expanding its network over the last several weeks, announcing new connections to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri; Macon, Georgia; Beckley, West Virginia; and Page, Arizona. The airline serves destinations across the Southwest, Midwest, and Southeast, as well as the eastern Caribbean.
