What is chautauqa airlines?

Chautauqua Airlines was a regional airline based in Indianapolis, Indiana, that operated from 1973 to 2014. It was a subsidiary of Republic Airways Holdings and operated feeder services on behalf of major airlines such as American, Delta, and United.

Chautauqua Airlines operated under the names American Connection, Delta Connection, and United Express. It primarily serviced smaller markets and provided critical connectivity for passengers traveling to and from major hubs.

The airline had a fleet of Embraer regional jets, specifically the ERJ-145, which allowed for efficient and comfortable air travel for passengers. Chautauqua Airlines was known for its reliable service and customer satisfaction.

In 2014, Chautauqua Airlines ceased operations after Republic Airways Holdings made the decision to consolidate its regional airlines under the Republic Airlines brand. This marked the end of a long history of providing regional air services in the United States.
