More Republic E170s to fly for Delta
An amendment to Republic Airways’ capacity purchase agreement with Delta Air Lines will allow it to add six dual-class Embraer E170s to the Delta Connectio

An amendment to Republic Airways’ capacity purchase agreement with Delta Air Lines will allow it to add six dual-class Embraer E170s to the Delta Connection network, Republic announced in late April. The move follows a previously announced amendment in January that added eight Republic E170s to its Delta capacity purchase agreement.

The contract calls for a six-year term of service for Delta. Republic expects to start moving the airplanes from its Frontier Airlines operation next month until all six enter Delta Connection service by October 1. By then Republic and its subsidiaries will operate 16 E175s, 14 E170s and 24 ERJ 145s for Delta.
