NORTH BEND, Ore. (AP) — SkyWest Airlines says the number of passengers isn’t high enough to keep the route profitable, so it will end service next year from Southwest Oregon Regional Airport in Coos County to Portland.

The World of Coos Bay reports (http://bit.ly/rDIiOp ) that the last flight to Portland will leave North Bend at 7 a.m. on Feb. 16

SkyWest spokeswoman Marissa Snow said the company has been evaluating the route for a while and the company determined it is “no longer economically feasible.”
