Skywest Airlines returns to ASX

Western Australian carrier Skywest Airlines has made a return to the local bourse today, with its share price debuting at 28 cents.

The return to the Australian Securiteis Exchange follows a three-year absence after the airline was taken over by Singaporean company Advent Air.

Skywest is also listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange.

Skywest chairman Jeff Chatfield has previously said the return to the ASX was to make it convenient for the airline's Australian shareholders.

Shares in the airline last traded at 29 cents at 15:49 AEDT with 641,675 shares traded.
