History

Shuttle America was founded in 1995 as a low-fare commuter carrier, later acquired by Wexford Holdings in 2001 and by Republic Airways Holdings in 2005. Under Republic, it re-equipped with Embraer E170/E175 regional jets and operated as a capacity-purchase feeder for United Express and Delta Connection from hubs including Chicago O'Hare, Newark and New York LaGuardia.

Current Operations

Shuttle America no longer operates as a distinct airline: following Republic Airways' 2016 bankruptcy reorganization, its operations, aircraft and certificate were merged into sister carrier Republic Airline on January 30, 2017.
