Interesting.. right off of the United website... (look under press releases)
Chicago, August 15, 2005 – United Airlines announced today an agreement-in-principle with new flying partner, Colgan Air that will add six Saab 340-B turboprop aircraft to the United Express fleet.
Colgan will begin serving United Express routes out of Washington Dulles International Airport on Oct. 4, 2005. Colgan will fly six United Express markets currently operated by Shuttle America from Dulles to Allentown, Pa.; Binghamton, N.Y.; Charleston, W. Va.; Charlottesville, Va.; State College, Pa and White Plains, N.Y.
"We are pleased to welcome Colgan Air to the United Express family," says Todd Arkenberg, managing director-United Express Performance. "This agreement gives United Express a high-quality service provider, while maintaining an economical cost structure. For our customers, it provides them with additional seats and safe, convenient access to United's unsurpassed global route network in these six markets.”
According to the terms of the pro rate agreement, operating costs will be paid by Colgan Air while a portion of the revenue from connecting passengers will be shared between United Airlines and Colgan Air.
Though Colgan aircraft will replace Shuttle America's turboprop fleet for United Express in Dulles, Shuttle America will continue to operate 70-seat regional jets for United Express on many routes from Washington-Dulles.
