Upon the closing of the transaction, Frontier Airlines Holdings, Frontier Airlines and Lynx Aviation successfully emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy and are now wholly-owned subsidiaries of Republic. Frontier Airlines and Lynx Aviation will continue to operate under their same names, offering the same flight schedules, customer amenities and frequent flyer benefits as in the past.

• US carriers gain access to their strongholds through new Washington National slot allocation
  17-May-2012

  Four US carriers have won rights to launch flights from slot-controlled Washington Reagan National Airport to serve markets where they are dominant or have a strong presence. Southwest Airlines and Virgin America are gaining access to National for the first time, while JetBlue will expand its blossoming presence at the airport. The new services should usher in some fare rationalisation in those markets as the carriers seek to challenge United’s dominance in the Washington market from its hub at Dulles International Airport, which is about 56km from National.

  US lawmakers in the latest FAA Reauthorisation bill signed into law earlier this year included a provision freeing up four outside perimeter (beyond 2,011km) slot pairs for new entrant or limited incumbent carriers at National, which is located only about 6km from the US capitol. Carriers already having an ability to operate flights outside the perimeter were also allowed to trade in a single pair of inside perimeter slots for new outside perimeter service. A slot pair consists of one take-off and one landing slot.

• Republic works to restructure loss-making 50-seat operations at its subsidiary Chautauqua
  03-May-2012

  Republic Airways Holdings has undertaken a restructuring of its Chautauqua Airlines subsidiary that operates 50-seat regional jets with a targeted USD40-60 million improvement by 2013. The company is hoping to overcome the daunting challenge facing all US regional airlines of finding a price point that makes the operation of smaller jets consistently profitable.

  During the late 1990s and early 2000s the introduction of the 50-seat regional jet ushered in heady times for US regional carriers as they negotiated high margin capacity purchase agreements with their US legacy partners that allowed for strong profits that often times bested the financial performance of the network carriers they were partners with.
