From Midwest Express: Midwest Express Airlines today announced it has leased space for its corporate headquarters at Mitchell International Airport, taking the next step toward launching the new airline with the iconic brand.

"Establishing our office is a significant step toward fulfilling our commitment to returning Midwest Express Airlines to the sky," said Greg Aretakis, president of Midwest Express Airlines. "We are looking forward to establishing formal office operations in the coming weeks and continuing on our path toward takeoff." The one-year, renewable, 1,500-square-foot lease is for the entire building located at 6083 South Jasper Avenue in the MKE Regional Business Park, which was formerly home to the 440th Air Force Reserve Station. The lease was finalized and signed on April 11 and is effective today. Midwest Express expects to begin occupying the space with furnishings and equipment in the coming weeks.
