Republic Airways

Republic Airways is one of the largest regional airlines in North America. Founded in 1974 and headquartered in Carmel, Indiana, the company operates scheduled passenger service on behalf of American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines. It flies more than 1,300 daily flights to over 100 cities, carrying more than 25m passengers a year across the United States, Canada, the Caribbean and Mexico.

The operation runs on a combined fleet of over 300 Embraer 170/175 aircraft, making Republic the world's largest operator of that type. Flights are dispatched from 12 bases in the eastern half of the United States. Technical work spans aviation operations, regional airline flight operations, fleet operations, and flight training and workforce development.

Republic also runs LIFT Academy, its proprietary flight school, which has five locations across four states: Indianapolis, Indiana; Tuskegee, Alabama; Columbia and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; and Galveston, Texas. The academy is oriented towards innovation and workforce development in aviation, including the training of pilots.
