U.S. Regional Airline Trans States to Close on April 1
The St. Louis-based United Express partner has accelerated its original plan to draw down operations by year-end.

St. Louis-based Trans States Airlines plans to cease operations on April 1, marking the first airline casualty of the Covid-19 crisis in the U.S. The United Express regional partner had planned to draw down operations gradually before going out of business by the end of the year, but United Airlines has decided to accelerate the closure as part of its 50 percent reduction in flying in April and May.
