SkyWest Airlines (operating United Express)
SkyWest operates the EAS-subsidized United Express flights linking LBF to Denver (DEN) and self-handles its own station; SkyWest job postings confirm it recruits 'Cross Utilized Agents' based at North Platte to perform ticketing, gate, ramp, marshaling and baggage/freight duties in-house rather than using a third-party handler. Listed phone is SkyWest's general customer-service/baggage line (call center operated on SkyWest's behalf by United); no station-specific LBF ops line is publicly listed.
