About Republic Airways
Republic Airways, previously known as Republic Airline, is an American airline which operates regional flights in the US and Canada.
As a subsidiary of Republic Airways Holdings, it operates services for Delta Connection and United Express, along with six other airlines under the brand American Eagle. The other six airlines that also operate as American Eagle include PSA Airlines, Piedmont Airlines, Envoy Air, SkyWest Airlines and MESA Airlines.
The airline is a contractor airline. This means it doesn't operate flights using its own name or branding. Instead, the airline is contracted by other airlines to operate flights on their behalf, using their name, branding and uniform.
The airline was founded in 1998 under the name Republic Airlines and went under the Republic Airlines name until 2017 when it changed its name to Republic Airways.
Please note: Republic Airways doesn't operate its own flights and only flies on behalf of other airlines. This means that when you search for flights on Alternative Airlines, the flight will be displayed as the carrier that it's flying on behalf of (i.e United, Delta, American Airlines) rather than its own name.
