CHQ Delta Connection E145 in CVG

[j41driver]

I saw a Chautauqua E145 in Delta Connection colors taking off from CVG last night. I thought they were only flying Delta passengers out of MCO. Anyone know the real story?

CHQ is not flying CVG for Delta. May have been a charter.

other airlines

United and USAir also fly into CVG, I think they do some of their regional work.

Might not have been a scheduled flight, but it most certainly had a Delta Connection paint job on it. I've never seen anything but 328 props and Dash 8's flying in CVG for USAirways and CHQ doesn't do any flying for UAL.

Key West

I was in Key West last week and saw a E145 with Delta colors also. I was wondering who it was. I have never seen a E145 with Delta colors before.

CHQ is flying a lot of Delta Connx in Florida.......I think they have somewhere around 10 cities or so.......the Delta website says the DO fly CVG-MCO but the CHQ web site says they don't.....so take your pick! I know I am flying CHQ Delta Connx next week fron SDF-MCO and then MCO-NAS.....wide open if anyone feels like goign to NAS!

j41driver,

Yeah, I saw it too. We haven't heard anything about them operating out of CVG, but then that doesn't mean they won't be.

It wasn't at any of the usual DCI gates, but that doesn't mean anything either.

Blue skies!

One of our guys brought up the point that CHQ might have been using the DelCon painted aircraft to cover some American Connection flying out of CVG since they've been doing the AC flying for a while. Stranger things have happened.

CHQ flys into CVG for American Connection and UsAirways Express. We could have had a bird down and this plane was used on one of those route or a charter.
