Chautauqua Airlines is an Airline based in Indianapolis , Indiana , USA . It operates scheduled passenger services on more than 670 flights daily to cities in 30 states, Canada and the Bahamas , through feeder services under the names Delta Connection for Delta Air Lines , AmericanConnection for American Airlines , Continental Express for Continental Airlines , United Express for United Airlines , and US Airways Express for US Airways ¹.

Its main base is Indianapolis International Airport , with hubs at Pittsburgh International Airport , Orlando International Airport , George Bush Intercontinental Airport , Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and Cleveland Hopkins International Airport .


HISTORY

The airline was established on May 3 , 1973 in Jamestown , Chautauqua County , New York , USA and started operations on 1 August 1974 . It was acquired by Wexford Management in January 1998 . Republic Airways Holdings completed its initial public offering in May 2004 . Chautauqua Airlines is wholly owned by Republic Airways Holdings and has 3,400 employees (at March 2007 ).

It operates a fleet of 100 Embraer regional jets (ERJ), including 68 ERJ-145s, 15 ERJ-140s, 17 ERJ-135s. These aircraft are deployed under the "express" banners of five major airlines; American, Continental, Delta, United and U.S. Airways. Chautauqua will take delivery of 24 Canadair CRJ's in the first half of 2007, to fly under its new codeshare agreement with Continental. Some of these aircraft were previously owned by Atlantic Coast Airlines(Independence Air), and some were owned by Comair. Chautauqua was one of the first U.S. operators of the Embraer 170 regional jet, but was forced to transfer these aircraft to sister companies Shuttle America and Republic Airlines in 2005 after the pilots' union at American Eagle claimed the aircraft violated a "scope clause" regulating the size of regional aircraft operated under American brands.

In early 2006 Chautauqua opened its new aircraft maintenance complex, capable of holding nine planes, at Louisville International Airport in Louisville, KY. Maintenance is performed in Indianapolis, Columbus, Louisville, & St Louis.
