Comair beat United in starting bizav ops
When UAL Corp., the parent company of United Airlines, announced in May that it would enter the business aviation market with creation of a new subsidiary

When UAL Corp., the parent company of United Airlines, announced in May that it would enter the business aviation market with creation of a new subsidiary to be known as United BizJet Holdings for the time being, it was big news. And it was assumed by some that this was the first venture into business aviation by a major airline. Wrong!

Comair, a regional airline acquired by Delta Air Lines in January last year, has maintained a business aircraft operation since 1984 that now includes a jet charter fleet, managed aircraft and a new FBO at Ohio’s Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport.
