Buy Air Wisconsin Flights with Alternative Airlines
Air Wisconsin, is a regional airline based in the United States. Its headquarters are in Wisconsin but its main hub is at Chicago O'Hare International Airport and flies to more than 30 destinations within North America, primarily focussing on domestic flights within the US. Today, the airline operates exclusively as United Express, which is the regional branch of United Airlines.
The airline was founded in 1965 as an independent commuter airline that connected Appleton (Wisconsin) with Chicago, using its own brand and aircraft. In the mid-1980s, the airline became one of the first partners of United Express and dropped its own branding to begin operating flights on behalf of United Express exclusively. In the years following, Air Wisconsin stopped flying on behalf of United Express and instead flew as US Airways Express for US Airways. When US Airways Express became a regional carrier for American Eagle, Air Wisconsin flew on behalf of American Eagle for a brief time. In 2018, Air Wisconsin stopped flying for US Airways Express and American Eagle and came full circle when it partnered back with United and United Express, which it still operates on behalf of today.
