Republic Airways said it has amended its capacity purchase agreement (CPA) with Delta Air Lines to provide for the addition of eight dual-class Embraer E170s for a period of at least six years. Republic plans to place the 70-seat jets into Delta Connection service between May and September, after removing them from its Frontier Airlines system.

The company plans to ≥backfill≤ all or some of the flying performed by the E170s for Frontier with 50-seat Embraer ERJ145s slated for removal from fixed-fee service with Continental Airlines in the second quarter and former Lynx Airlines Bombardier Q400s Republic unsuccessfully tried to sell.
