Introduction

Regional airlines are a passenger airline service that provides services to smaller communities, frequently connecting to larger cities, and is generally intended to feed a larger airline with larger aircraft. The smaller communities are often not able to support larger aircraft or do not generate enough passengers to warrant a high frequency of flights. This type of service is also called a commuter airline or feeder airline. A passenger airline is an airline dedicated to the transport of passengers. ...

Many large airlines, especially in North America, are associated with a regional airline that often uses the same company livery. These commuter airlines are sometimes subsidiaries of the major airline or fly under a code sharing agreement. Examples of such would be the fully owned AMR Corporation's American Eagles Holdings Corporation regional subsidiaries "American Eagle" and "Executive Airlines", along with ACE Aviation Holdings subsidiary Air Canada Jazz. North America North America is a continent[1] in the Earths northern hemisphere and (chiefly) western hemisphere. ...

In the British Isles for example, BA CityFlyer regional subsidiary of British Airways uses the basic "Chatham Dockyard Union Flag" livery of its "flagship" parent company. In a slightly different category is ExpressJet Airlines another regional carrier, but one which is independently owned and managed, although its 205 aircraft fleet operates in the marketing brand of Continental Airlines, Inc., Continental Express. In these roles, all of the precedings airlines are operated primarily to bring passengers to the major hubs, where they will connect for longer distance flights on the national airlines also known as flagship carriers's, larger aircraft. As such the smallest of regional carriers have become known as feeder airlines. The separate corporate structure allows the company to operate under different pay schedules, typically paying much less than their "flagship" or mainline owners.

Other regional airlines are formed to serve low-use routes and are often most important to small and isolated communities, for whom the airline is the only reasonable link to a larger town. An example of this is Peninsula Airways, which links the remote Aleutian Islands of Alaska to Anchorage. It is in this role that the term commuter airline is generally used. Peninsula Airways, usually called PenAir, (IATA: KS, ICAO: PEN, and Callsign: Peninsula) is an airline based in Anchorage, Alaska, USA.

British Aerospace Jetstream 41 of the regional airline Eastern Airways

Regional airlines began by operating propeller-driven aircraft over short routes, sometimes on flights of less than 100 miles. In the early days of commercial aviation few aircraft had ranges greater than this, and airlines were often formed to serve the area in which they formed. That is, there was no strong distinction between a regional airline and any other airline. This changed with the introduction of long-range aircraft, which led to the development of the flag carrier airlines, such as British Overseas Airways Corporation and Trans-Canada Airlines. As the flag carriers grew in importance with increasing long-range passenger traffic, the smaller airlines found a niche flying passengers over short hops to the flag carrier's airport. This arrangement was eventually formalized, forming the feeder airlines.

Through the 1960s and 1970s, war surplus designs, notably the DC-3, were replaced by much more capable turboprop or jet-powered designs like the Fokker F27 Friendship or BAC One-Eleven. This extended the range of the regionals dramatically, causing a wave of consolidations between the now overlapping airlines. Douglas DC-3 VH-AES at Avalon in 2003. ...

In the early 1990s, much more advanced turboprop-powered, fuel efficient, and passenger friendly DC-3 type replacement projects such as the 19 passenger Embraer/FMA CBA 123 Vector and the 34 seat Dornier 328 were undertaken, but met little financial success, partly due to economic downturn in the airline industry resulting from the outbreak of hostilities when Iraq invaded Kuwait. Many of the regional airlines operating turboprop equipment such as Delta's regional sister Comair airlines in the United States set the course for bypassing entirely the regional turboprops as they became the first to transition to an all-jet regional jet fleet. To a lesser extent in Europe and the United Kingdom this transition, to notably the Embraer or Canadair designs, was well advanced by the late 1990s. This evolution towards jet equipment, brought the independent regional airlines into direct competition with the major airlines, forcing additional consolidation. Douglas DC-3 VH-AES at Avalon in 2003. ... Embraer/FMA CBA 123 Vector The Embraer/FMA CBA 123 Vector is a 1990 Turboprop aircraft designed for regional flights, carrying up to 19 passengers. ...

Although regional airlines in the United States are often viewed as small, not particularly lucrative "no name" subsidiaries of the mainline airlines, in terms of revenue, many would be designated major airline carrier status but they do not qualify for this status since the aircraft they operate generally seat less then 100 people. Major carrier or Major Airline is a designation given by the United States Department of Transportation to U.S.-based airlines that post more than $1 billion in revenue during a fiscal year. ...

Historically important United States regional airlines

In the United States, regional airlines were an important building block of today's passenger air system. The U.S. Government encouraged the forming of regional airlines to provide services from smaller communities to larger towns, where air passengers could connect to a larger network. The government encourages regional airline growth with the goal of making air travel within the reach of every American.^{[citation needed]}

The first United States regional airline (then called a commuter airline) was Wright Airlines, founded by aviation legend Gerald Weller in Cleveland, Ohio. The airline was based at Cleveland's Burke Lakefront Airport, becoming the airport's first commercial carrier. Though airlines had come and gone from Burke over the years, Wright Airlines endured, and by the time the airline declared bankruptcy in the late 1980s, it was appropriately the last commercial airline to leave Burke Lakefront Airport. (Cleveland's commercial traffic has since been consolidated at the city's larger Cleveland Hopkins International Airport).

Since the passing of the Airline Deregulation Act in 1978, the US federal government has maintained a desire to continue support of the regional airline sector and to ensure many of the smaller and more isolated rural communities remain connected to air services. This program, known as the Essential Air Service (EAS), guarantees that selected smaller communities are afforded year round regional airline services.

An alternative to some regional airline service may be the new Small Aircraft Transportation System^[1] initiative in conjunction with general aviation and VLJs (very light jets). With the introduction of air taxi VLJs, city pair links to smaller communities lacking regional connections could become more common.

Such airlines, often operating in code-share arrangements with mainline (flagship) airlines, often completely repaint their aircraft fleet in the mainline airlines flagship sub-brand For example Continental Connection regional airline partners CommutAir repaints its entire fleet in Continental Connection colors.
