Republic Airways

Indianapolis based Republic Airways Holdings is expanding their business by purchasing Midwest Airlines as reported in the Wall Street Journal. They continue to fly high in their business endeavors as a regional jet carrier, partnering with a list of other major carriers to provide smaller jet service to their extended markets.

Republic Airways has called Indianapolis their business home to their headquarters since 1994. Located on the west side of Indianapolis, they've been a strong player in the regional jet market for a number of years.

Republic Airways Holdings, based in Indianapolis, Indiana, is an airline holding company that owns Chautauqua Airlines, Republic Airlines and Shuttle America.  Our business strategy was developed by our experienced team of senior regional airline executives.  The company’s business model incorporates sound business strategies and insights for the development and management of regional airlines operating throughout the United States.  We are professionals for whom flight - and the business of flying - are equal parts art and science.
 
Republic made a strong savings off the purchase when they paid $30M for Midwest Airlines, who had been purchased less than two years ago by another investment group for $452M.
