MESABA TO RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL 15 CRJ-900’s
November 7, 2008
By Chris Fink [email protected]
Mesaba Airlines has announced it was recently chosen by Delta Air Lines to receive 15 CRJ-900 NextGen aircraft, beginning in January of 2009. Mesaba will start taking delivery of this new allotment once the initial schedule of 36 CRJ-900 aircraft is completed in December.
"This announcement reinforces Mesaba's reputation of exceptional operating performance and competitive costs, which has continuously put us in position to explore new growth opportunities," said Mesaba President John Spanjers.
Mesaba will operate seven existing aircraft, which were manufactured within the past year, as well as eight new CRJ-900’s which are currently being produced for Delta by Bombardier. Mesaba will take delivery of these aircraft January through May of 2009. After undergoing conformity checks, the first aircraft will commence revenue service on February 12, with all 15 aircraft scheduled to be on-line by June.
The interior of these additional aircraft will be similar to that of the first 36 planes, and will feature the same 12 first class/64 coach class configuration as Mesaba’s current CRJ-900 fleet.
Mesaba will operate the new aircraft from Atlanta under the Delta Connection name, and will feature Delta’s blue, red and white livery.
Once this new delivery phase is completed, Mesaba will operate a fleet of 117 aircraft, including 51 CRJ-900’s, making Mesaba the largest operator of 76-seat aircraft in the Delta family."

yaaaaaaaaaaay!
 
Why are you posting this?

Do you work for Mesaba?
 
Well it looks as if Mesaba is the first safe regional...

The only question is how big will they get?

Saabs will be in ATL soon

Mesaba also was in the early stages of getting the ATR-72-600 for NorthWest...
 
Looks like the airplanes are owned by mother Delta. . . The music will stop sometime in the future, just like it always does. Then everyone will be scrambling to find a chair, like they always do.
Safe is something you keep your rifles in. Trust me, its not a regional.
 
All 15 operated out of ATL? This combined with the Saabs surely will cut into the ASA/Skywest 80% unless Delta is planning on giving Skywest Inc. more flying...
