Republic Airways exits Chapter 11 bankruptcy

Tuesday, 2 May 20173 min read
Republic Airways Holdings has embarked on ‘a new chapter’ after finally exiting bankruptcy.
The company filed for bankruptcy protection in February 2016 and has since made significant changes in its business structure.
Republic closed its Shuttle America unit earlier this year moving flight operations to subsidiary Republic Airlines.
It also renegotiated agreements with its partners American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines for whom it flies regional routes under their respective regional brands.
"Today starts a new chapter for Republic. We have streamlined the airline around a single fleet of E-Jets and a single operating certificate. These operational simplifications, along with restructured commercial agreements with each of our core business partners, has positioned Republic to deliver on its mission," chief executive Bryan Bedford said in a release.
