Republic Airways Selected Regional Airline of the Year by Air Transport World
Republic Airways Trusted by More Major Airline Partners Than Any Other Regional Carrier in the United States
INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Republic Airways Holdings (NASDAQ:RJET - News), parent company of Chautauqua Airlines, Republic Airlines and Shuttle America, announced today that it has received Air Transport World’s prestigious Regional Airline of the Year award.
“Today’s recognition affirms the efforts of our 4,900 employees, who are dedicated to delivering a level of safety, dependability, customer service and innovation that is second to none in our industry,†said Bryan Bedford, chairman, president & CEO of Republic Airways. “Every day, Republic Airways aircraft carry tens of thousands of travelers across North America for our six major airline partners. This award, which included the best regional airlines from around the world as candidates, exemplifies why Republic is trusted by more major airline partners than any other regional airline.â€
Perry Flint, editor-in-chief of Air Transport World, said, “Republic Airways' record of strong earnings and tremendous growth mark it as one of the few success stories among US airlines in the first decade of the 21st Century. To achieve 29 consecutive quarters of profitability, while boosting annual revenues from $150 million to more than $1.1 billion is a remarkable achievement. Add to that an unblemished record for safety and a highly competitive cost structure and it's not difficult to see why five of the big six network airlines have partnered with Republic."
The ATW Airline Achievement Awards program was created in 1974 to recognize excellence. Originally a modest program, the ATW Awards over the intervening decades have gained in importance and stature to become the most coveted and valued honor an airline can receive. The ATW Award winners represent an elite group of airlines selected by the magazine’s editorial staff after a lengthy consultative process that considers hundreds of airlines from across the globe.
