American Eagle made the announcement this week after the airline failed to draw enough interest to support continued service.

The airline began nonstop routes from Boise to Los Angeles seven days a week in April. The flight has attracted about 2,600 passengers per month, but totals dropped sharply in October.

Airline spokesman Ed Martelle says the company had great hopes at the outset, but he says the marketplace dictated the decision to pull out of Boise. The last flight is scheduled for Feb. 8.

It marks the second time American Eagle has pulled a Boise flight. In 2002, the airline flew jets from Boise to Dallas for eight months.
