Republic Airways has started interviewing for positions for a new base in the Miami/Lauderdale area. Looks like they will be basing some new E-Jets in FLL flying under the US Airways Express banner this winter. Anyone have more info on this?
Light Years said:I believe this is for Delta Connection flying. I think the US FLL focus city is pretty much done.
How do you know this?MAH4546 said:Thanks for the info. I definitley I've heard from conflicting sources that it is both DLX and USX, as mentioned here, but most are saying USX.
It is definitley not done. They were simply too ambitous at first. More routes will be announced soon, including a transcon.

Travelpro72 said:I guess after the merger all of the florida cities that are served by America West to PHX and LAS will be gone? They already serve FLL from both cities. Curious ! ! hmmm.... If they get rid of those flights, so much for profitable point to point service.

JSsup said:well there were plans to upgrade EYW/FLL to Embraer 170s in the 13 Oct Schedule change.... those plans have since been pushed back.
So an FLL E170 base isn't so far off...
