Shuttle America

Encyclopedia : S : SH : SHU : Shuttle America


Shuttle America (IATA: S5, ICAO: TCF, and Callsign: Shuttlecraft) is a regional airline based in Indianapolis, Indiana. It feeds United Airlines flights at Chicago, Denver, and Washington as United Express, and feeds Delta Air Lines flights at Atlanta, New York, and Salt Lake City as Delta Connection.

Shuttle America previously operated as US Airways Express for US Airways, and as an independent carrier flying Dash 8 and Saab 340 aircraft in the Northeast. In spring 2005, it was purchased by Republic Airways Holdings.

Shuttle America currently operates the Embraer 170. These aircraft were initially operated by sister company Chautauqua Airlines, but Chautauqua was forced to transfer their 170s to Shuttle America after the pilots' union at American Airlines claimed the aircraft violated a "scope clause" regulating the size of regional aircraft operated by airlines that also operate under American brands.
