REPUBLIC AIRLINES (1979-1986)


The former Republic Airlines was an it is still possible to find a few old Republic logos around Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport and Memphis International Airport if one looks hard enough. (The logos can no longer be seen at Detroit Metropolitan Airport because Northwest's old terminal there has been demolished.)


REPUBLIC AIRLINES (2005 ON)

The current Republic Airlines is a Regional Airline Subsidiary of Republic Airways Holdings that operates service as US Airways Express for US Airways from Philadelphia and Washington National using Embraer 170 aircraft.

US Airways' pilots previously had a "scope clause" prohibiting the airline from operating large regional jets such as the 170. The airline negotiated around this clause by offering flight deck jobs to laid-off US Airways pilots, in a program known as "Jets for Jobs." This agreement created a subsidiary, MidAtlantic Airways. However, as part of the airline's bankruptcy restructuring, the 25 E170s delivered to MidAtlantic are being transferred to Republic, which will operate them along with three new-delivery aircraft on order. Republic will operate them under a conventional Express carrier contract. On March 6, 2006 Republic Airlines announced it plans to establish an overnight maintenance facility and flight crew base at Pittsburgh International Airport , creating as many as 140 jobs by year's end. Already Republic has taken over flights from Pittsburgh previously operated by Air Wisconsin .
