Republic Airways Holdings Announces the Purchase of Shuttle America Corporation
"Republic's decision to purchase Shuttle America is in anticipation of increased demand for the Embraer 170 and to provide Republic with the opportunity to operate aircraft larger than 70 seats such as the Embraer 190 while complying with certain scope restrictions that some of its major airline partners currently have in place."
Complete Story
USA320Pilot comments: It appears Republic has just cleared the way for 25 active US Airways EMB-170s and 3 EMB-170s awaiting delivery to be transferred to Republic. In addition, the only major airline scope clause Republic has in-place to fly the EMB-190 is with US Airways.
Meanwhile, US Airways’ POR appears to be coming more in focus.
