Smyrna, Tenn.-based RegionsAir had to suspend all service indefinitely on March 9 after the FAA for the second time in a week halted operations for inadequacies in its line check airman and certification program. The action affected all 12 of RegionsAir’s routes, nine of which it flew with 19-seat BAe Jetstream 32s as an American Connection affiliate from St. Louis and the remaining three as a Continental Connection partner from Cleveland.
RegionsAir opened for business again on March 5, three days after the FAA shut it down for a problem with training manuals for flight instructors.
When the airline failed to make the proper changes, the agency closed it down again on March 9.
