Regional "Minor" airline list

flick70 · 02-15-2003, 04:02 AM

After seeing the new Northeast re-startup, I am interested in getting a list going of US regional airlines.

Here are a few examples...

Midwest Express - Milwaukee Based
Great Plains - OKC Based
Spirit - Florida Based
Air Tran - Atlanta Based
jetBlue - New York JFK Based
Frontier - Denver Based

Please help me add on to this list!

actually i think a few are those are considered "NATIONAL" carriers, based on the amount of passengers they fly in a year...

Actually Great Plains is based out of KTUL.

Correct, but most "regionals" have long hauls. I guess I am trying to list off all airlines in the US that aren't considered "Major".

be sure to add Alaska Airlines. they may be somewhat big but theyre only big in the west coast.

jetBlue will reach major airline status by the endof the year.

alaska airlines is a major airline, jetblue and airtran are both close to "major airline" status as well

How about American Trans Air? They have L1011's, but I don't know if you think of them as a major.

i believe ATA is a "National" Airline.....REMEMBER THIS HAS TO DO WITH AMOUNT OF PASSENGERS FLY ON THAT AIRLINE A YEAR....

even airlines such as COMAIR are considered "National" Airlines

My intention was to list all airlines, regardless of size, that isn't considered a "Major" airline.

So, Airtran, Alaska, Jetblue, etc. meet the criteria.

ATA is a najor, if i am right #8 in the US.

How about all the minors that have disappeared?

Allegheny- Mohawk- Piedmont- Southern- North Central- Ozark- Hughes Airwest- PSA- Air Cal- Trans Texas- Air New England- Bonanza- Texas International

I can't remember any others, but it does make you realize how many airlines there used to be before deregulation & the advent of airline-alliliated commuters like American Eagle, United Express or Delta Connection.
