SkyWest Airlines (OO) and ExpressJet Airlines (EV) will operate 23 Bombardier CRJ200 aircraft under a four-year capacity purchase agreement for American Eagle beginning Nov. 15.
The regional jets, scheduled to be placed in service prior to the end of the first quarter 2013, will be sourced from SkyWest’s existing fleet; 11 will be flown by EV and 12 will be flown by OO.
OO said it anticipates the aircraft will mostly operate out of Los Angeles and Dallas/Fort Worth airports. The 23 aircraft were previously operated on behalf of Delta Air Lines.
Additional terms were not disclosed but the airline holding company said it would be compensated “in similar fashion to existing capacity purchase agreements” with its other major partners.
OO operates as United Express, Delta Connection and US Airways Express and operates flights for Alaska Airlines. EV operates as United Express and Delta Connection.
